Samsung ssd 256 gb

[asye288]

I'm interested to upgrade my gaming machine of putting a new ssd. What like is the Samsung ssd 256gb 2.5" (because of price) which is fairly popular in US but not in Canada. Is anybody using this Samsung ssd and could give me honest comments?? Thanks.

I have not used that drive. Have you read Tom's' most recent "Best SSD for the money" article, at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/buy-ssd-recommendation-value,3088.html ?

I have the Samsung 470 SATA 2 3Gb/s 256GB ssd in my personal rig. I've had it for 3 months now. It performs as expected and there have not been any problems or issues. The newer Samsung ssd's are just as good, if not better.

The following Tom's Hardware forum thread will probably answer all of your questions, especially if you follow the links and read the technical reviews:

I have a 830 Series 256G drive that I put in my recent build. Very fast. Been using now for about 6 weeks with no problems
