Inland NVME SSD (512 GB) is 30% cheaper than Samsung 960 EVO NVME (500 GB), is it worth?

In amazon.com
1. Inland Professional 512GB 3D NAND M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe Gen 3 x 2 Internal Solid State Drive: $99.99
2. Samsung 960 EVO Series - 500GB NVMe - M.2 Internal SSD (MZ-V6E500BW): $154.99

I known Samsung SSD is far faster than Inland, but when you compare 3200/1600 (R/W) to 1600/800 (R/W). Will it make any difference in everyday task, even some normal, non-professional video editing? The reliability of Inland SSD seems not bad according to user online feedback.

30% price difference is a lot. Can this money be saved or not? I am talking about a normal build, It will be used to do everything, but not too heavily.

i would not buy it

Because?

 

[Peter Martin]

because it won't be worth it in what is lost in performance. never cheap out on performance. plus, the name, seriously? who the hell are they? Samsung they ain't, they could be 60% cheaper and I would not touch it. I like high performance AND reliability from known sources. that's why.

I'd rather pay the extra $50 to get the Samsung. If you were talking $100 or more difference in price, then i'd take a second look.

Inland is the house brand for Microcenter.

Currently using a 240GB one and it works well so far.

Didn't know that.

Never going to beat a Samsung but they are good value for money and x2 interface is a good match, only a few top end NVMe's can use a x4 interface for best performance.
