Who are the good SSD manufacturers? It seems like Samsung isn't

Samsung.

>>52227143
When in doubt, just go for Samsung or Intel.

>good
Crucial MX

>meme preferred
Samsung

>>52227143
Samsung/Intel by far at the moment.

850 EVO is absolutely fine.

>>52227279
This

I got 2x256GB 850 Evo's and one 128GB 840 Pro

All working fine.
Generally just stick with Samsung or Intel(only if they're not Sandforce)

Good alternatives are Plextor, Crucial and Sandisk

Correction two 950 EVO's

Samsung 840 PRO is a good SSD. I've had mine since April 2013 and its still doing me almost as good as it used to.
The write speed has dropped from 520mb/s to 450mb/s over time, but that IS expected since I've written 8.44TB of data to it in that time.
I love mine still.

Samsung 840 non-Pro owner here. Also bought mine in 2013, I've written 9.2 TB on it, it's still alive and well.

>>52227381
I've done about 15TB on mine, though I attribute marginally lower write speed to there only being ~20% free space on the disk with no overprovisioning.

>>52227381
Glad to hear. The reason I went for the Pro over normal was I heard that the pro uses a better type of memory in terms of lifespan, so its nice to know that even a non pro version which has written more than my SSD has is doing absolutely fine.
I seriously don't expect to need to replace it for quite some time, which is nice.

>>52227401
Shit mang, thanks for posting this. I just went and did a check on my speeds again because you saying about the free space + OP made me wonder if that had any affect on it.
Now it's saying I'm getting 520mb/s write again, which is damn nice. I thought I was only getting 450 still.
This has just made me happy to see.

>>52227405
Yes, Pro is both faster and has a longer lifespan (Pro is MLC, while whats used in the 840 is cheaper TLC). I wouldn't worry about lifespan at all, as they are expected to endure hundreds of TBs written on them before failing.

>>52227443
Awww

Get the 950 by samsung, 128gb. use it for your OS only. IT HAS FUCKING 2GB/S WRITE

Is there ANY decent SSD (64Gb pref) for under 50€ on the market? All value brands (Intel, Samsung, Crucial) are pretty expensive at this size while dog shit tier SSDs like Kingston are cheap as fuck.
Do I really have to buy this shit if I only want to spend 35€?

>>52227665

No real world benefit, most benchmarks have boot times and games loading at almost identical rates as sata 3.

I have both a 950pro and 850evo btw

>>52227279
This desu

>>52227143
Sandisk, Crucial, Samsung, and Intel.
Mushkin, A-DATA, and PNY are alright, but they don't make their own components, so they're limited by what they can get.
>It seems like Samsung isn't good (850EVO)
It's the TLC NAND. It offers PRO-like read and write performance at first, but it quickly peters off at sustained writes to about 300MB/s and a much lower 4k random IOPs than an MLC NAND-based drive. The only good thing about it is that it's cheap for the theoretical performance.
>I'm looking for a small 64~120 GB SSD
Don't. The smallest you should consider now is 240-256GB. 120-128GB is going the way of the dinosaur since controllers are becoming less and less efficient working with smaller number of NAND packages on the PCB. It's no longer cost-efficient and takes a huge hit in performance over larger SSDs of the same model (compare the stats between a 120GB Crucial BX100 and a 500GB BX100).

>>52227143
used ocz, kingston, crucial and samsung. all were good. just don't buy the shittiest model.

>OCZ
How did I forget them?
OCZ's Vector and Vertex are some of the most consistent SSDs I've used, so their sustained random 4K reads/writes are much better than the Samsung 850 PRO. The only downside is that they come as 240GB/480GB rather than the 256GB/512GB of the PRO, which is a lot of lost space.
ARC 100s are decent for a cheap SSD, but Trions are shit. Stick with their MLC NAND SSDs without the shitty Toshiba controller.

>>52227143
im using the cheapest non-chink SSD I could find, its from a company called "Intenso" and it works flawlessly for 6+ months now. I only use it for my OS.

OCZ / AMD R7 SSDs are where it's at. Samsung is cheapest though.

samsung?
they haven't even solved 840 evo series issues
and what about that trim bug that resulted with data loss only in samsung ssd?

>>52229662
Unread whelp, the 'trim issue' is about queued TRIM, it's not even supported on 'major' OSes

>>52229662
our datacenter threw out hundreds of samsung ssds
there must good reason

>>52229662
The 840 evo issue was solved. The 840 basic is still suffering.

850 evo is fine OP.

>>52227239
This.

>>52227143
>he fell for the ssd meme

I have a crucial, kingston and samsung and like all three of them.Just take one with good read/write stats and good reviews

>>52227239
The BX100 is a very good budget drive.

>computer is slow as shit with everything on a single HDD
>get SSD and move OS partition to SSD
>now everything is fast and stuff like explorer.exe doesn't lock up so much

SSDs are pretty good.

>>52227143
Literally nothing wrong with the 850 Evo, probably the best price/performance ssd you can get. Fast and reliable, buy that shit. I have one and it's dank.

>>52230127
>The 840 evo issue was solved.
nope

>>52227143
Sandisk Extreme Pro a best

>>52230127
>>52230916
they "solved" it by making the controller shuffle data around decreasing its life span.

but technically it is fixed, its a hardware issue so it can never be truly fixed just mitigated so that the end user doesn't experience it.

>>52230636
Yeah, but fuck the BX200
TLC NAND is not fast enough because the controllers have to slow down to compensate for their faster wear leveling.

>>52227189

Cool Rapid mode

Samsung SSDs don't have power loss protection so if you loose power ever while your PC is on it could currupt the data on the drive. If your OS if on that drive you may need to reinstall windows. Not to mention the whole 940 fiasco. Stick with good brands like Intel and Crucial. Both have power loss protection and most importantly they just werk.
