[SOLVED] Do ssds have big differences in speed?

[FluffyFlounder]

I was looking around on pc part picker for an SSD, and I saw vast differences in prices for the same amount of storage. The Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB is about $77, but the Mushkin - Source 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive is only $55. Can SSDs have a big difference in speed? Thanks in advance.

You will not see a speed difference.
The price differences does not have to do with the speed, but the type of technology, manufacturer, reliability and warranty.
The Mushkin has 3-year warranty but the Samsung comes with 5-year warranty.
It is up to you if that extra warranty (peace of mind) is worth the higher price.

Not just speed, but also reliability.
I might use that Mushkin as a secondary drive.
