Best value 1TB SSD

[rosshamilton94]

I am looking to buy a 1TB SSD to replace my mechanical HDD. I've narrowed it down to three choices:

Crucial BX100 - £282
Transcend SSD370 - £272
Samsung 850 EVO - £310

Basically I wondered if the the 850 EVO is worth the extra money and if not, which of the other two is better?

The drive is for a mix of normal programs (browser, office software etc), games and office files/PDFs.

Never personally having worked with a 1 TB SSD I can only tell you (for what it's worth) that an acquaintance of mine purchased a half-dozen Samsung 850 Pro 1 TB SSDs about three months ago (don't ask me what he's using them for!) and he reported their performance as "outstanding" (his word).

But when all is said and done it comes down to the old Tammany Hall saying..."Yer pays yer muny and yer taikes yer cherce."
