im new to SSDs so obviously its a lot faster than my 1TB HDD ive been using for a few years so im not concerened with speed stats. any way i bit the bullet the other day and bought a Samsung 850 evo 250gb for 88$ and its on its way to be a boot drive and hold apps just because every one swears on there reliability. but now im looking for a 1TB for my games and yes a 1TB 850 evo will be good and reliable but it is 309$ on new egg so a pretty penny but reliable. but i can get a 1TB Mushkin enhanced reactor for 209$ so a large 100$ gap that i feel warrants me asking the fine ppl of this forum about there experiences with Mushkin SSDs
