Buying a cheap SSD

[pimblton1899]

Hi i was thinking about an ssd and i found a really cheap one SSD GOODRAM CL100 240 GB
its about 50 usd it was maybe 60 usd before now its one sale. I can't find a really good review on it so i want to ask if any of you guys had or have one of these and what your expierence is?
Thank you

btw its cheaper than an Samsung SSD EVO 850 250GB (70-80 usd).

Never looked at one personally.
They're the budget drive of the budget space.
Relatively weak SSD level performance (although still greater than an HDD) and only a 3 year warranty.
You get what you pay for.

If your goal is simply an cheap upgrade over an HDD, it would certainly 'work'. Just don't expect blazing fast performance - and I'd recommend always having a backup of any data you cannot afford to lose (although that should be a rule, regardless of the drive you're talking about).

Never heard of it. Can't find a good review? It's cheap for a reason.
Ergo...do not buy.

$50-$60 USD? 250GB? Where are you buying this?
Crucial MX500 - $67

And that's why we need to know, up front, where you are buying from.

If you specify $USD, we're going to assume you're in the US.

It would be easier to give a list of ALL drives in your desired size and budget, available in your market.

We can then filter out the crap ones.

I am looking for a 240gb, price about 50 usd. I can find used ssd-s for 50usd like samsung evo 850 and some kingston but i want a new one not used, the prices are usually about 80 or more usd.

and i can find cheaper ones in other citys but delivery would cost me and the price would be the same.

@pimblton1899 Where are you located, specifically? What is your budget in local currency?

USD has to relevance to anything, if you're not buying in USD or located in the US.

Not "looking for"...give us a list of available drives.
