[knowledge2121]

I am trying to buy a 2.5" SSD for my netbook...I want a really nice performing 120/128 GB 2.5" SSD ....

I am looking at the Crucial 120GB BX500 SSD...is it any good ?

Please make some recommendations.

Crucial is very good. I would recommend a 250gb if possible.

like the Samsung 860 Evo ?

is there anything that performs better than the BX500 ?

You using m.2 or SSD?

2.5"

Any performance difference with Samsung will be so little you will never notice, but yes Samsung makes the fastest SSDs

 

[bmockeg]

You realize the larger SSD is faster. So even a cheaper 250gb will be faster than the 120gb samsung

 

[knowledge2121]

yes...I just realized that....
