Hello, after using only a HDDi am finally going to buy a SSD, but now i see a lot of different ones and i can't find any good arguments which one i should get..
I can choose from:
Samsung 850/860 EVO/PRO
Crucial MX300/MX500

The only difference i see the different prices..
Can someone tell me which one is the best to buy, i know that the most expensive one not always the best one is.

The best/fastest SSDs are the Samsungs: If I were buying for my computer I would chose a 1TB Samsung 850 Pro SATA SSD if I could afford it ( I could, I did, and I do not regret it), a 1TB Evo if I couldn't. Realistically, you want a minimum 256GB SSD, 512GB is better and 1TB is perfect. Back a smaller SSD up with a 1 or 2TB HDD for data.

The 860s are probably going to be a little better, and a little more expensive than the 850s. I also expect the 850s to start getting discounted a little with the release of the new 860s
