Hi, first sorry for this but this is special condition , the Samsung ones doesn't have warranty , Kingston one has 1 years

Kingston is a little more expensive (hyper x black and k300)

840 120GB pro and 840 EVO 280GB have same price !

He told me he give me a 24 h test time because it doesnt have warranty ! Which one should i go , how common is ssd fail?


This is almost the only Samsung ssd in the city ! Vendor was also a good guy 😀
But tomorrow after 3PM all stores get closed for a long time , plz answer fast 😀

Else theres only sp and atata

i know i already made for best ones, but this is vs 2 available ones !

i only got time till tomorrow then i guess no ssd for a long time 🙁

totaly:

Samsung 840 EVO : 120GB @ 125$ | 250GB @ 174.5$ (prices are high due traveling to here they are really good tought)

Samsung 840 Pro : 120GB @ 174.5$

Kingstone 120GB kc300 (i guess - bad handwriting 😛) @ 104 $ 1 year warranty

Kingstone 240GB Hyper x black @ 211$ 1 year of warranty

forgive me for this thread but im on hurry !

Yeah the Intel 520 is a good choice. Mine has served me well for a little over a year as my OS drive. I bought it because of the strong warranty (5-year warranty in U.S.). It's not the best performing drive, but when I've run HDtune tests, it is the most consistent; meaning when the drive read or write speed peaks, there are no dips in speed whereas my SanDisk Extreme II drive (rated as Tier I by Tom's and also with a 5-year warranty) has higher overall average speed but frequent dips in speed.
ubercake, in my country there isn't available, even the ssd is really hard to find, it has warranty of official Samsung ones, but, if it fails i have to spend almost same price of ssd for sending it to the country its bought from and fix it and then receive it back again !
 
reedo_43 it might be you that is lucky btw i had many products never send one to warranty expect my galaxy note, its was such a horrible phone btw it ended up getting damaged again after warranty ended (motherboard burned) btw even tought it got damaged, it had nice support for warranty ! (samsung phones are easy to buy, but ssds are not )

btw i read online that samsung has 0.23% failure / return rate!
 
Kingston warranty is Persian , the company is warranty only its 1 years its not the original warranty, but its good i guess ! (all parts here have custom warranties! )

that would be for Samsung because it has no inside country , Persian warranty
 
The Samsung is definitely a good drive, but when it comes to any parts I seek out those with a strong warranty.

You have a special case and it really sounds like you're leaning toward getting the Samsung. Test the drive for 24 hours. If anything goes wrong, even strange things that aren't repeated, take it back.

I think it's very strange they would sell a drive with double the capacity for the same price.
 
there was also intel 520 , another shop had it with 1 year warranty ! now i see all my files are less then 64gb the intel adds to the list !
its 115$

i see crucial m500 120gb for 107$ its online and takes time too arrive else then then a week for it to open

btw they are not really good options they take time and hard to arrive, problems during,,,
 


almost same price on amazon too, the lower one is "pro" while the higher one is "evo"

also price wasn't so much accurate btw! the samsung and kingston one i mean
 
Code:
also data loss is not my concern ! the money is, the money... ,
im only going to put data i can recover there, only for speed ! (my OS , few games (online) )i got them all backed up on my slow old external hdd!
 
Ubercake , so your telling me if 24 hour test didnt fail its ok? Wont the test reduce lifespan? Ehat kind of test you recommend? Im in love with somesung ones , at same time scared from warranty

Also i think i can make him give me a week 😀

I bought Intel its amazing ! Almost no win logo when starting !! Even i wasnt sure my pc even restarted ! Rate is 8.3 ! But i got a question i unpluged my hdd for onstallation , win 8 is still on my hdd , should i just connect it and delete windows or requires me something else like also disconnecting ssd ! Should i install amd cataclys on ssd ? Or hdd !
