What ssd to buy Samsung 840 EVO or Kingston HYPERX 3K

With the evo you can't go wrong. You have to buy what you can find in your neck of the woods.

You will like the EVO; it's an excellent SSD and comes with excellent support software.

All things being equal I just bought a 840 Pro. My previous SSD's are all Crucials then broke ranks with a Samsung 830 and a cheaper than dirt OCZ Vertex III on a whim. I've been very pleased with all of them.

I favor the Samsung Pros myself (my boot drive on my desktop is a 128GB 840 Pro) but, when I wanted to replace the 500GB spinner in my notebook, I just couldn't justify the expense of a SSD that cost significantly more than the notebook itself so, when they went on sale late last year, I snagged a 500GB 840 EVO. Even then, it and the RAM upgrade I did a little later (8GB from 4GB) together cost as much as the notebook (RAM is outrageously expensive right now). I primarily use the notebook only on trips longer than a day trip (and I don't travel as much as I use to) so it gets light use; unless something just out and out breaks, that EVO will last through this notebook and probably the next one.

I would love to add a large ssd to my lappy I waited till a 256gb went deep on sale and pulled the trigger with 8 gb of ram the lappy is amazing and it's only a i3. I then grabbed a 64gb sd card and a 128gb usb 3 stick for added travel needs and it works perfect.

You did or did not get a SSD? Which one if so? :)

A 256gb was all I could afford or justify but soon we'll be installing 1tb SSD's and laughing about way back when when we struggled to justify a 60gb SSD.

Not on my wife's budget...
