Crucial vs Samsung SSD

[lilj0unior]

So I'm planning on getting an SSD and I'm wondering if I should get a crucial 525gb SSD or a Samsung evo 500gb?? The crucial one is cheaper but is crucial SSD reliable?

Crucial is about th most reliable but the samsung is a bit faster drive. This said speed of either aren't that great so I would opt for the Crucial. That or look for the Samsung 960 evo M.2 if your motherboard supports this.

The top Tier Brands of SSDs in my opinion are Intel, Samsung, Crucial.

Note I said brands and not models.
Though there are many different factors like what kind of Cells they use or whether they use 3DNand or Planar.
Also what the performance and write endurance they have.

Just keep that in mind before pulling the trigger.

My 2 Crucial drives (M500, MX100) have over 2 years of use and have been rock-solid reliable.

So has my 850 Evo (only 6 months old, though). The MX100 and 850 trade blows in terms of performance. The M500 is quite a bit slower.
