Hi, I am going to purchase a new SSD and have the option of two at a very good price but as do not really no a lot about the makeup of the SSD's anyone can give an opinion pleas
The two are, Intel 520 Series Solid-State Drive 240 GB SATA or Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III
Many Thanks
Russ
 
last i heard the EVO had a bug that was awaiting a fix that affected slow down on old data. might want to check to see if thats fixed.

if you can stretch to the PRO models that'd be better. got 830 pros at home and an 850 pro at work and they're excellent.
 
Yup. Unless the EVO bug has been fixed, of the two, I'd also go for the Intel.

Like Neil though, I tend to use the Pro drives (or their competitors' equivalents).
 
Hi, Thanks for the input.
Wish I could afford the Pro drives but have settled for the Intel 520 Series Solid-State Drive 240 GB SATA as it seems to have some good reviews.
Thanks again
Russ
 
Samsung issued a firmware upgrade to fix the bug in the 840 EVO at the end of October
