There are a lot of choices in SSD's, You have Samsung, Sandisk, PNY etc.

The Samsungs are normally faster, but would it really be noticeable in everyday use?

It's really up to you in the end.

Personally I would get the Samsung out of those two, or a Sandisk 240GB.


i just found Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-75E250B/AM) for 89$
the pny is for 69$
which one you think i should get and do you know what is the diffrence between the 2?

The Samsung 850 EVO is supposed to be the best 2.5 inch SSD, but honestly you probably won't notice much of a difference between the 2. I have an 850 EVO that I have for games only and a Western Digital Blue SSD that I have in my server and barely see any difference. I guess it would depend on if you want the "best" or simply a "good" SSD.
