Hello... the Samsung is the speedy one... sandisk is cutting prices just below... I picked up Sand480 for 2nd drive and it's great.

They're really comparable. Tom's even recommends both of them under different categories. I'd choose whichever is cheaper although personally I run a 500GB Samsung 850 EVO.
