MX 100 using MLC NAND when compared to TLC of Samsung EVO is much better SSD. I was in similar dilemma 3 months back and finally had bought MX100. Though could use it for very less period of time till now but its performance is very good.

I would suggest getting MX100 even if you have to wait for some time and provided you have time.

Adata SP610 is better than MX100 for a lower price. I am using one and have an MX100 as well in my laptop. The Adata is significantly faster than the MX100. Please check the SSD benchmarks thread for benches. Both use Micron MLC NAND. Adata has a different controller. The same OEM drive is also sold as Corsair Force LX.

Don't buy Samsung Evo from USA. you don't get warranty.

And even from India also don't get it. Evo uses TLC where as MX100 is MLC

Hmm... I had done some research before... Seems like we don't need to worry about SSD life if usage is not very high... with around 30gb/per day the SSD will last 15-20 years as per some benchmarks...

Oh please. That doesn't matter and an electronic item can fail anytime.

If from the US you can probably squeeze in a Sandisk Extreme Pro or Intel 730 with all the discounts happening.
