I understand this question is probably asked many times, however it has been a while since I was in the hardware game and when it comes to SSD's I am very much a noob in need of somebody with more experience in the field.

I am currently running Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
BIOS: BIOS Date: 10/29/13 14:51:47 Ver: 16.02
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
Storage: Raid0 2x 500GB
My storage device is probably ancient by todays standard and I feel like it could be a major bottleneck to my system so its about time I update.

I use my pc for video editing from my GoPro which I mainly film in 2K format but would love to be able to edit in 4K
I also use my PC for gaming a fair bit too so I think something with 240GB storage would be best.

I have no idea what brand is best so I am just after some advice what would be best for about a $150 budget.

PC Case Gear was good to me in the past so I wouldnt mind shopping there again.

Thanks for reading my thread

I would get a Samsung 850 EVO, they're very fast and reliable. You will get amazing boot times and read/write speeds and it won't cause you any problems.

Definitely a Samsung 850 (EVO or Pro). 850 EVO has the best Price/Performance and comes with a 5-year warranty. 850 Pro costs a bit more but is a bit faster and has a longer lifespan, and comes with a 10-year warranty.
