Would it make much of a difference If get a Sandisk 120gb 300v

I'm trying to save some money, and Kingston is cheap... so? Should I expend more and the get Evo instead?

300v had switch issues where the SSD slowed down significantly during regular use, not sure about now

850 ssd's beats almost everything, it's a consistent drive

Ok, I'm going to spend a little more then, thank you.

You should be able to get a 120 GB SSD for $35 or even under $30 if you shop. Newegg just had 120 GB Intel 530s for $29.99.

Can't see where you're saving that much money. Kingston v300s are getting pretty bottom-tier. You should be able to find a Crucial M200 or a Micron 500 in the $30-$35 range.

Shop harder ..?

You started off talking Sandisk, and their better models aren't cheaper than a Samsung 850 EVO. But their shit-tier ones are. If you think you're saving $5 by getting the cheaper SSD instead of the 850 EVO, you are really just buying an SSD that you'll need to replace in anywhere from 2 months to 2 years. The 850 EVO (or other models I listed above) would be reliable for 3 years minimum, if not 10. I have two systems currently running OS off 250 GB 850 EVOs for over a year, rock-solid in 99% health.

Do you care about performance? 240 GB SSDs have significantly better performance than 120 GB models of the same brand/line. Just a week back or saw so Plextor 240 GB SSDs for $55 @ newegg. Would have bought a couple if I didn't already have more than enough.

Oh, thank you. I'll compare the speed and I'll think about getting the 240GB model.

The higher price won't bother you for as long as the sorrow from buying cheap crap.
