Have an 850 evo. Need more space. Sammy is great but are they really deserving of the premium?

I have two kingston ssd, one on my laptop and the other on my bigass tower, both work without issues, and one has been going on since 2013 and it's still at 100%

Literal bait-and-switch SSDs

samsung is shit
deal with it
(sandisk owner)

Literally the only good option for a budget SSD is the samsung evo series. If you save $10 and get some shitty kingston or adata you were well-cucked

Kingston is shady, they switched out the insides of a particular model of SSD with cheaper components and never informed anyone. People only noticed when they started getting shit performance.

Just get a Sandisk SSD Plus.

You'll thank me later.

They're fine for consumer use. Not the best pricing, but good R/W speeds and such, and they cost not ridiculously more than the Crucial offerings.
Short of going to enterprise drives (the larger sandisk offerings, bigger samsung offerings, etc) or NVMe, Samsung SSDs are good enough. Look for a sale though.

no problems with hyperx 3k on my desktop after few years of use, V300 is slow but works just fine

they work just fine but i would go with 850 EVO or something

UV400 is fine. Just don't put it in a laptop.

Literally the only reason to buy Samsung is their pro series. If you edit 4k videos and need the performance, you should get the Samsung Pro. In all other cases, the lowest $/GB SSD will be just fine.

>>56390276
No, I got an evo so they're obviously the best

>>56390266
Why?

I haven't had any issues with mine 6 months in.

>>56390266
i got one and put it in a laptop, will i die

I put kingstons into cheap setups for poor people

Usually recommend sandisk or samsung but no one listens. keeps me in a job when something goes wrong.

>>56390295
I guess >>56390266 was full of it

Well, it doesn't matter anyway.

Kingston drive, even with prime shipping, wouldn't show up until next Friday. A Crucial 275gb at $10 more will show up Sunday. Fuck you Amazon for forcing me to buy a superior drive

>>56390295

Because it doesn't have a low power state crucial for laptops. It's a budget SSD, so they cut corners somewhere.

Just wish you did as it sucks up more battery then some of it's competition.

i've been out of the loop since the ocz and sandforce debacle. are samsung and intel still the safest bets when it comes to ssd?

>>56390622
Consumer SSDs have matured enough so you don't have to fear ocz tier bullshit nowadays.

>>56389982
Their flash drives are, but that is the limit of what I know about them.

>>56389982
I have a hyperx savage and it works as advertised. Their V300 SSDs are trash though.

sandisk and the rest of WD's subsidiary are shit

Mx300 is literally the best bang fot buck ssd

performance characteristics for an SSD don't mean shit, only latency. all the 'premium' SSDs currently just degrade performance after the first few hours of use to the level of any cheap SSD as well.

I can't get a Samsung for a normal non crazy price in my country.
My options are: Kingston, Adata, Sandisk or PCBOX.

Which one would /g/ recommend?

>>56390981
nvidia

>>56390936
Literally just bought the mx300 275gb over the Kingston UV400 because it was only $10 more and rapes the Kingston in comparison

>>56391091
I dont care just trust me nvidia is better
