Kingston SSD Any Good????

[patrick47018]

Hello everyone there is a pretty good deal on a Kingston SSD and I am thinking of jumping on it, what are all of your opinions of Kingston SSD's and this SSD in particular http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721107&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=4238077&SID=skim7917X667306Xc2cfec49f18805f89cc6de444bf4fa17

Thanks!

they aren't bad but don't shine either. they're plain sandforce2 ssds.

the price makes it a fair deal/value

 

[patrick47018]

Would you recommend it?

Samsung 840 EVO , in some tests it is 2x faster than Kingston V300

 

[laviniuc]

instead of a normal hdd, yes. and that price yes. but you can find better drives in the 150-200usd range.

I was thinking of getting an EVO, anyone bought from here before ? http://aaawave.com/p-28374-samsung-mz-7te120bw-840-evo-sataiii-tlc-solid-state-drive-ssd-120gb.aspx?gclid=CO6U0IvV4LsCFYg-MgodYiQA_Q

Seems to be the cheapest here

Samsung 840 EVO

and i'd agree, almost. problem is the evo is about 20usd more expensive and for 50-70 more you can already find 250ish drives.

I'd recommend Samsung SSD's in a heartbeat however please be aware that the warranty if purchased in Canada is somewhat vague.

What do you all recommend is there any killer deals on an SSD atm?

 

[patrick47018]

And elmo I would be buying in US so that is a non issue

[laviniuc]

yep, eyes playing tricks on me i thought the kingston was at 80. yep, for 10usd more the evo is a better choice.
