[Kilroyquasar]

Hello!

need a 240GB SSD for my desktop, which has the mobo as Asus P8Z68 V-Pro, and cabinet is HAF-X. am getting an intel 520 for 4.5k (warranty till April 2017) from a forum, while i also see some other offerings online, like:

- kingston ssdnow uv400 (4.3k)
- kingston hyperx fury (4.4k)
- sandisk plus g25 (5k)

pls suggest which of these four will be better. budget is upto 4.5k.

I am in the same situation. I have shortlisted Samsung EVO 750 too besides your list. ~5K
Some feedback would be great!

Dunno about the others, but I just got a Samsung 750 EVO 240 2 days back and I'm really liking it. Almost the same performance as the 850 but cheaper.

I bought it for 5.3k at a local store in Chennai, but I believe you can get it for 5k.

Samsung EVO 750 250GB - 4.95K prime. We are getting 2 for our older C2D/i3 laptops. @BIKeINSTEIN gave me a nice lecture on it.

The crucial bx-100 is a good performer was recommended by many sites for it's performance.

Picked up the Samsung 750 Evo 250Gb for Rs 4670 yesterday on Ebay after 10% off. My board only has Sata 2 so dont think i'll notice much of a difference if any
as compared to the 850 series.

thanks for the inputs! will the 750 EVO be any better than intel 520, & esp. when the latter is for 4.5k & an year of warranty?

reliability of intel ssd is far more than samsung.
i have been running intel ssd since 2011 and faced no perf. issue.

Intel >>>> Samsung. However, if you want warranty, Samsung is a much safer bet.

I'll give you a call and explain.

i have availed intel warranty once and it was flawless exp.even though it was bought in usa.

great. pity though that i'll be getting only one year's facility. not that there should occur any chance of availing it.

I am using Crucial MX100 for close to two years now. Flawless performance. My Windows 8.1 still boots in 10 seconds and shutdown in couple of.

Me using Samsung 840 and Samsung 850 EVOs. Awesome in both cases.

I have been using Sandisk SSD Plus for the last 5-6 months and I am satisfied with it. No idea how it compares to other SSD's but I have no complaints, so far (fingers crossed).

Go for Samsung 750 , have used Kingston and Evo 750 beats it hands down also the magician software for Samsung is really good and you can use its os optimization feature for a very good experience

 

[Kilroyquasar]

so basically now tie is between intel 520 (w/ 1 yr of warranty) & samsung 750 evo. the latter, with its OS optimisation feature, looks enticing. plus, if the info here is any worth, then i'll get the 750 evo - http://ssdboss.com/ssds/Samsung-SSD-750-Evo-vs-Intel-520

 

[pratikb]

thing with samsung is their use of lower binned tlc flash.
intel on the other hand uses best possible binned flash from micron hence they are one of the few to give 5 yrs warranty on their ssd.

confusion again!
