Should I go for Adata SP600 or Samsung PM800?

[kunus]

Hello Everyone,

I'm confused in a deal between ADATA SP600 64GB and Samsung PM800 128GB

Which one do you recommend?
Price doesn't matter in this case.

Thanks.

Benchmarks shows that SP600 128GB is a bit faster than PM800, Is this also true about 64GB SSD?

Samsung PM800 128G:

Adata SP600 128G:

(In my case 64GB SSD)

Better go for a Samsung 840 Evo, which is much newer and faster compared to PM800 which is quite old 2 years+ and only available used.

Thanks a lot, but there is a used PM800 with good price and also a SP600 64GB. Is it a good choice to choose PM800 128GB over SP600 64GB?

Neither of those.
I'd never buy a used SSD, especially a 3 year old model. SSD performance and reliability has improved greatly in the last couple of years.

It would have to be one heck of a good price to get a used ssd. The problem is someone may well have used most of the write cycles(the limiting factor to ssd's life time) and then just be selling a drive that may not last as long as one would hope.

This all depends on the user clearly, My "worst" ssd has 21 full drive writes(wear level) in 512 days so I have used less than 1% of its rated lifetime, but another user may have burned up over 2000 in the same time(the amount of program erase[more technically correct than write cycles] depends on the drive as well. Some have more or less it is all down to the flash used). My usage pattern is read heavy and not write heavy at all since all my files are actually on hard drives.

I would personally go with the larger model just because 64 gigabytes goes fast and if you can live within 64 gigabytes then 128 will leave you lots of room for the ssd to perform wear leveling and other self maintenance.
