I'm currently choosing between those three. The MX300 and the UV are available in my city so I can buy any right away. The UV costs 3/4 the Crucial's price. On the other hand, the Evo 850 I'd have to buy it from Amazon and ship it to my city but it would cost about the same or slightly more than the MX300 had I bought it from here.

Also I'm speaking about the 240, 250 and 275 models.

Would I notice any differences between the 3 in terms of speed/life span? I have never had an SSD before. Would it be worth the ~10 days wait if I order the Evo 850 from Amazon?

Also I have a Macbook Pro 2015 and the benchmark results are twice that of any of those. How come there is a huge difference in read/write speeds? I read that it had something to do with double M.2 channels that Apple achieved? I just don't know but the speeds are twice that of the others.

The 850 EVO is better hands down. I would order it in a heartbeat.

this review covers the kingston uv400 but if you look closely at the benchies you can see all three drives mentioned at various points of the benchmrk (in some not all) short of it is the 850 EVO is the supreme drive for performance.

An SSDs speed/performance is and SSDs speed/performance. Being a Mac won't change that. And are you sure your Mac can handle a standard SSD? I thought it was for an i7 win10 build. If for win10 everything should be fine and fast.

What do you mean by if my Mac can handle a standard SSD? I believe the one in my Mac uses M.2. I did the speed test and the results were 900-1000 read and write as opposed to 400s and 500s for those SSDs I'm choosing between. I'm just wondering why is the difference so huge?
Yea the one I'm buying is intended for a Window 10 i5 machine.
