best ssd brand

Solution
I agree with Xemko - Western Digital makes the best hard drives out there - and they have a wide variety of drives:
Black drives - best performance - optimized for speed.
Green drives - saves electricity costs - great for backup drives.
Red drives - optimized for network storage (RAID) configurations
Blue drives - budget priced drives

The black drives are the best for performance - and come with a 5 year warranty. I use them in most applications for home use. The blue drives will save you a bit of money, but the warranty drops to 2 years, and the performance isn't as high. The green drives do well for backup drives. I use the green drives to backup data across my network nightly. They have high storage availability, but do not...
The speed is not going to matter their all wicked fast.

For Samsung avoid the 840 EVO series they have issues.
 
If you compare what a SSD performs like - it is tremendously faster than a hard drive. If it takes 30-40 seconds to boot on your hard drive, it will take 5-10 seconds on a SSD. Huge improvement. The best SSDs will boot in 4-8 seconds, while the "budget" drives will boot in 6-12 seconds. There isn't a huge different in speed - and usually in the newest models, there will be about a 1 second difference....so performance isn't the top concern.

I have utilized Samsung SSDs for years - and they are extremely reliable. Crucial and Intel also make good drives - and there are a few other brands that make good drives. I just think Samsung has consistently lead the pack in performance, price & reliability....
