samsung 840 pro vs ocz revo drive 3 x2

[mohsen_mln]

Hello, what do you think should i get for my storage, i know ocz revodrive 3 x2 240gb is by far better than samsung 840 pro 256 or any sata ssd but do you think it really worth 436 GBP which is almost 2.7 times more than samsung price with the same capacity?

That depends on your needs. What are you using your system for?

If you are a professional video editor, or maintaining a large database, then yeah, it's worth paying 2.7 times more.
If you're a normal/casual user then get a SATA SSD, because you won't notice any real-world difference between the RevoDrive and a SATA SSD.

You don't need the RevoDrive for what you are doing. Your benchmark results would be higher if you bought it, but you wouldn't notice any real-world difference.

Get the Samsung 840 Pro and save you some money.

maybe i get two 840 pro and raid 0 ? what do you think of it ? does it worth the risk and the money ?

The risk is low, but just like the RevoDrive, you're not doing anything with your system where you would notice the real-world difference between 1 SSD and 2 in RAID-0.

I have a Samsung 840 Pro 512 GB on an i7-4770k CPU. The Samsung is insane fast. Of all the things on a computer that can be upgraded, I would say that switching to a solid SSD will give you the biggest jump. I didn't think that it would make all the difference that it does indeed make, but what a wonderful surprise. I promise you won't be disappointed in the Samsung. Happy gaming!
