I'm planning to buy Internal SSD. I just need 100 GB but some brand like Samsung doesn't provide less than 250GB that will expand my budget. If I choose other brands like WD or Kingston, I will get my prefered size and in my budget. But I'm prefering Samsung over other. What should I do. Are WD and Kingston reliabile n durable enough comparing with Samsung. So, please suggest me best Solution considering these points :-
1. Speed, Reliability and Expected Life difference between Samsung 860 Evo/850 Evo, WD Green(120 GB) and Kingston(120GB) SSDNOW UV400!
2. Difference between Samsung 860 Evo 250gb vs 850 Evo 250gb (which is best comparably)
3. I want to have 100 GB For OS, but if I purchase 250 GB, I would like to use that with two partitions. I can keep Softwares n Games in other partition. Is it safe to do multiple partitions? Would partitioning affect TBW(Tera Bite Written)?

1. The Samsungs kick those other 2 to the curb

2. 850 EVO or 850 EVO? Either

3. Partitioning doesn't do a lot of good in this scenario. In the event of reinstalling the OS, you'd need to reinstall your applications anyway.
What other drives are in this system? A single 250GB is probably too small if it is the only drive.
And seriously reconsider your 120GB concept. That in itself is on the edge of TooSmall.

Once Windows and all your favorite utilities, plus MS Office or LibreOffice, etc., are installed, you'd be surprised just how little 120 GB truly is....and you really wish to keep at least a quarter of the drive empty if possible, anyway.

Heaven help you if you decide to install a single game like Battlefield One...

(Were one using Linux Mint, Debian, CentOS, or Ubuntu, even 30-40 GB would be plenty)
