torn between evo 850 120gb and transcend 370

[amd1361]

hi
I'm going to buy an ssd drive and i am in two minds about Transcend 370 with 570MB/s read – 170MB/s write speed and Samsung evo 850 with 540MB/s read - 520MB/s write speed.
on the paper samsung is the real winner when it coms to write speed.
My question is that do I really feel any boost in my system performance and speed (windows boot time, games load time ,...) using evo or not.
just guide me in terms of speed , I know about other factors such as quality ,warranty,...
If practically both drivers are the same without any real difference in speed please tell me about it.
thanks

hands down the samsung evo offers better quality and reliability over trancend

i know about quality and reliability of evo over transcend but my question is about the speed .
how much can i feel the difference in reality. is it felt practically. or the difference is not noticed

Between those two, there would be a perceivable difference in speed, but not so much that i would trade capacity for it.

This one would have no percievable speed disadvantage to the EVO.

between 540ms/sec read on the EVO vs. 570MB/sec read with the trancend i don't think you will notice a difference since it is only an extra 30mb/sec. and that's just between the drives on paper. you have to factor in what kind of performance you run it in your PC

imagine having transcend 370 (and every thing is ok) are you ready to upgrade it to evo 850 at the expense of boost in speed?

Sequencial read is not really that important when it comes to how snappy a system "feels".

I wouldn't. I would only upgrade any SSD to a bigger capacity one. Period.

Look, teh difference from an HDD to an SDD is night and day. Teh difference from one SSD to another is barely perceptible if even that.
