Hey Guys, I've been doing some reading, and it seems prices have shifted quite a bit over the past week or two, so I'm unsure which SSD is the best value for my needs.
I'm looking for a ~256gb boot drive onto which I can put Windows 7, important programs, and a few games without every really worrying about capacity issues. I currently use around 150GB with all programs on my main drive, and my media on a seperate HDD.
I'm not concerned with having the best performance as most any SSD will be a massive improvement for me. I'm more focused on longevitiy, reliability, and relative value. Based on this I've read that MLC NAND is better suited for me than TLC NAND, is this correct (due to longer life)?
The main SSDs I'm considering are:
$159 - SanDisk Extreme 240GB
$195 - Crucial M4 256GB
$220 - Intel 520 240GB
Am I missing any other good 240-256GB drives in the $150-$225ish range?
Or is it really worth the money for a 840 pro ($250 for a $256gb)?
