Hi guys,

Please could someone answer a few questions regarding these SSD hard dives below:

1) https://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-inch-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B00P738MUU
2) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078WST5RK/ref=psdc_430505031_t1_B00P738MUU
3) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077SF8KMG/ref=psdc_430505031_t4_B00P738MUU
4) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073SBQMCX/ref=psdc_430505031_t5_B00P738MUU

First question is which one would you recommend as they all seem to get good reviews so don't know which one I should go for? Also, why is the first Samsung SSD so much more than the second SSD for the same capacity? Is the first one worth all that extra money if I am going to get the same memory? The crucial SSD gets good reviews and is nearly half the price of the first one.

Thanks

The WD Blue and Crucial MX500 are essentially the same drive. The Samsung 850 EVO is the old model that is hard to find hence why it is expensive. The Samsung 860 EVO is the fastest of the drives on benchmarks, however, the difference in performance among all them is so minimal that you will never notice. Whichever of the WD Blue, Crucial MX500, or 860 EVO is the cheapest is the one I would get.
