/g/entoomen, I stand before my first real SSD (I got an old 32GB

Get an 850 Evo 250gb.
Totally worth it.

>>56337902
I like the intel ones due to cost and reliability but if you can get a>>56337936 it would be great.

>>56337936
But what is the big difference between the two?
How come 850 is so much better?
At the moment, my desktops HDD seems to be getting old enough to die out (5 years now). So should I start by getting a SSHD or a HDD before getting the SSD and can get my hands on a 850? (When I get a job that is... NEET incoming).

I'm thinking of getting a 120GB Transcend, and then down the road investing in a proper 240/480GB 850 Evo
Is it worth getting a small drive if I just need a dedicated boot drive?

To make this more understandable. I am looking to get my desktop faster.
Currently it takes like 3-4 minutes to boot up, and just opening files are taking 30 seconds or so.. It's horrible..

>>56338053
Not OP

540 is crap. It doesn't have anything that makes Intel SSDs good. Practically an OEM for Intel.

Since you guys haven't failed me before with your intellectual superiority (LG G4, MSI GtX960 etc) I will go for the fucking 850 Evo (If I wasn't a filthy NEET I could've gotten the Pro.. But what the hey).

What OS are you using?

>>56338843
Windows 7 on this one. May go to 8.1 with classic shell.
Also, is a chance I will be dualbooting Ubuntu 16.04 on it.

>>56338937
Try to grab Win 7, but I suspect a bloated install of Windows is on your machine.

Windows 8.1 plus classic shell isn't the same.

Purchase it? I tried reinstalling a bunch of time too... and my rig is 5 years...
