I am considering buying a 250 gig for none other then my laptop. The laptop is a few years old so I won't use the SSD complete potential. With that in mind, there is one drive I read that is phenomenal and that is the Samsung 840, does anyone have experience with this drive (Recently bought a Kingston HyperX) ?
The sandforce drives are at present the cream of the crop, any recommendations for a SandForce drive, or would the Samsung 840 be an excellent choice ? | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows8 CPU Core2Quad (2.6 Ghz) Motherboard nVidia 775 Memory 8 Gigs DDR2 Graphics Card Geforce 480 (1.5 gigs) Sound Card Motherboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays 22" Samsung LCD Screen Resolution 1680x1050 PSU 850 Watts Hard Drives 120 Gig SSD

Drives with a Sandforce controller aren't top dog anymore. I personally won't own one because of the trouble with them......had 2 Intel 520's leave a bad taste in my mouth. There are far better choices out there today that put sandforce drives in their place. Also, just because your current laptop won't benefit from(I'm guessing) SATA III, that doesn't mean you might not find another home for it, so get a good one and get your moneys worth out of it. I can recommend the Samsung 840 Pro.....I'm pretty sure you are meaning the regular Samsung 840, but I'd get the 840 Pro instead. Also, the new OCZ Vector, Corsair Neutron GTX and the Plextor M5 Pro are all premium SSD's that are at the top of the heap in terms of performance. Based on last generations 830, I have to give the nod to the 840 Pro in terms of reliability and performance.
My recommendation for a sandforce drive: don't buy one. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built OS Windows 7 Professional 64bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5-3570K @ 4.5GHz Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4) @1866MHz Graphics Card Intel HD4000 Sound Card Onboard Audio Monitor(s) Displays Dell S2309W Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Max Nighthawk X8 Mechanical keyboard Mouse Logitech MX 500 Wired PSU Seasonic X750 80+ Gold Full Modular Case Antec Eleven Hundred Super Mid Tower Cooling Intel Liquid Cooler Hard Drives Samsung 830 128GB SSD - OS

Need help here. Dell XPS 8300 Windows 7 Home Premium, 1.5TB HDD, 8GB memory. OS is on my SSD Intel 520 Series, 120GB.
Is this SSD up to standard or too slow. I still have a chance to return and get the Samsung 840 series. TIA | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Dell XPS 8300 OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU i7-2600 Memory 8gb Graphics Card AMD Radeon 6770 Monitor(s) Displays hp w2007 |
