Need a 256gb SSD

[rounakr94]

I need a 256 gb ssd. I am looking at a Samsung 860/850 Evo 256gb. Please suggest what would be best for me. I dont want to spend a fortune on ssd. Also if something better in that range is good do suggest that also. My motherboard is a Gigabyte Ga78lmt usb3. Btw indian sites would be preferable. I use my PC mainly for movies and sometimes editing in photoshop.

What are the differences between the 850 and 860¿ Price is pretty much similar in both.

And also can PCIe ssd be used in my PC?

The 860 is just the newest model in that line.
Doubtful you'd see any actual performance difference.

No.

The WD Blue is also a good choice.
That Kingston? Ignore.


So...again, in no particular order...
WD Blue
Samsung 850 EVO
Samsung 860 EVO
Crucial MX500

1 of those 4.
Buy one.

Thanks for your help. Will buy the Samsung if its cheaper or else will go with WD Blue.

You might want to consider the 840pro as well. Going from memory it has similar performance to the 850s. I've seen them massively on sale over here in the USA, not sure about Italy.
