Samsung evo 840 vs MX100?

[Whatisgoingonherethen]

So The samsung is obviously better, however I simply want to record onto this drive & am wondering whether a mx 100 will do. It is currently on sale for only £50 on amazon due to black friday sales.
Here's the link:

what do you think?

Depends on how much you want to record and how much storage you need. Is 256GB enough? If not a 1/2 TB HDD would be better.
I would take the MX100 in this case since it is cheaper.
They both good SSD the 840 EVO and MX100.

256gb is enough as after each session I would transfer the files to anothe HDD and delete them from the SSD! Should I get it?

I wouldn't use an SSD for recording unless I needed the portability+physical durability and/or bandwidth for a professional raw recording application. If you're just recording on a desktop computer, mechanical drives offer the most bang-for-buck. A modern high density mechanical drive can do 150-200MB/s sequential, which is more than adequate for most formats, including some uncompressed/raw formats up to ~1080P@30FPS.

I currently use a WD black (separate HDD from which the game is running on), 7200rpm 170 mb/s write speed. I use dxtory & record @ 60fps, however I have to turn the quality down to 85% & use the lossless lagarith codec and often suffers drops in its ability to sustain a consistant fps, hence the inquiry regarding a ssd.

Just pick up another WD black and RAID0 them. RAID is perfect for these applications as it scales sequential bandwidth, which is the key here.

A 256GB drive is only going to be good for maybe 20-30 minutes of recording at those data-rates, and will wear out faster than you might expect in that application.
