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

an older review, but the following two sentences sums it up nicely.

"the Reactor will become a better choice because despite the performance and features I don't find the 850 EVO to be worth $60 more."
and the last line in the review
"To be frank, if I was on a lookout for an affordable 1TB SSD, the Reactor would be one of the first drives I would look at."
