Samsung @500gb ssd's

10thmtnarty · Jan 19, 2017

I am upgrading to a SSD (I know, about damn time) and was wondering which specific evo series model one might recommend. I have heard good things about the evo series. My budget is $200 USD, but cheaper is always better. Was wondering which specific one would be the best bang for my buck. Mostly gaming, some light cad, possibly (very slight possibility) a little video editing or streaming.

My current system:

The 850 Evo. The 850 Evo, 850 Pro and Sandisk Extreme Pro are at the top of the SATA SSD list in speed and reliability. The 850 Evo is the best value.

$169
