Question Good and Cheap SSD?

[Hypoltan]

I'm looking for a cheap ssd but still with great performance. 500gb and under $75 preferably but willing to go a little over if the performance is right.

Samsung is also no longer exorbitantly priced these days, either, so an 860 EVO is really still the 'gold standard' of standard SATA SSDs....

But, I'd not be willing to pay $20 extra for it over the Corsair, but, ....$5, perhaps....

They also have some inland branded ones, I think it's 480gb for 49.99. They are a microcenter house brand I think. I've installed a few for others and they seem decent enough. When I was there one day, an associate told me that they are actually rebranded Western Digital drives.

Granted, they probably aren't as good as the crucial, but if price is a big concern to you, they are decent from what I've seen.

A little out of your price bracket, but you can apparently get 1tb for 110.

WD blue 500gb also 67.99 On Amazon. Both 2.5" and m.2, I'm liking mine so far!

Pretty good deals on Kingston A400s from best buy, 120gb is $20, 240gb is $30 and the 480gb is $52

Remember, you'll be living with this drive for several years. $10 or $15 difference is not something you want to cheap out on.

Very true. Thanks.
