i found two ssd in my budget with similar price. first one is samsung 850 evo 120 gb and second is kingston uv300 240 gb(uv not only v). both cost same to me. but one i problem found is uv300 has low iops of 18000-20000 and i dont know write iops matter. please tell me which is better. speed is not much matter for me because i have sata 2 slot. i can compromise if i get bit low speed but not storage. should i go with uv300?
 
Solution
Well I havent seen a review of the uv300 so please buy it from a place that you know will take it back if it turns out to be too slow.
Also post up your benchmarks on it when you can.
With a sata 2 interface you wont get full use of an ssd like the 850 evo so theres not point in paying extra for it (notice its only 120gb...)
What other 240gb drives are available in your area. kingston ssd's have soured many users away from them...
Patriot Blast, Corsair Force or Neutron, Sandisk z400 or SSD Plus, Crucial bx200, Adata Premiere, Mushkin Enhanced ECO... should all be near about the same price
 


in my area only few ssd are available samsung,sandisk ,kingston,corsair(cost me too much than any other). sandisk ssd plus 240 gb cost me 5200 rs , kingston uv300 for 4650 rs, 850 evo 120 gb for 4600 ,crucial m500 120 gb for 5000, sandisk z400 256 for 11000 rs,ADATA Premier Pro SP600 256 GB for 10,000 but my budget is only 5000 rs and mostly all other 250 gb ssd are more than double of 120 gb. the only uv300 is cheaper.
