Which this 4 SSD is good?

Plextor M5S 128GB, Corsair Force Series LS 120GB, SanDisk Ultra Plus 128GB or Samsung 840 EVO 120GB ?

Warranty not the main issues whether 3 or 5. But the performance and which one is reported less issue.

others im not sure , currently im using Plextor

i am using the samsung, so far no issues on performance..already 6 mths using it

Samsung 840 EVO 120GB @RM329 is freaking cheap!!

Wah really cheap. Used or new?

NEW .. but sometimes these shop like to said

'It is a bundle price', 'You need to build a comp with us' ..

I can get the same price, but non profit and works for free.

Hmmm, true. Samsung 840 Pro is part of my considerations. But the Samsung Evo and Kingston 3K is really making the case for me.

And true, probably no use waiting as SSDs have gotten to a point where you can't tell the difference.

1. Enterprise grade SSDs? Hahahaha nah the price tags are probably gonna sink me under. And yeah, like I said above, the differences are so small I won't notice them unless I do heavy computing where speed of SSDs are essential.

And yeah, I'm leaning to the 840 Evo for it's bang for buck value. But the Plextor M5P is also one of my original choices. I guess now its up to seeing who has the best prices.

2. Yeah, the vicious cycle of "catching up with the times" and trying to always get the new stuff, is not healthy. But it's mostly for gaming where I want to eliminate load times and have faster program responses, so I guess I don't really have to wait for the new ones I guess. Cuz prices are also gonna be insane.

Thanks for the advice man. Appreciate it.

exactly. life is short. please get out of that loop and start enjoying

during my previous purchases, Plextor m5pro was imo one of the best-priced. i'm still a happy user of 2x 512gb m5pro and 3x 256gb m5m (yeah i like cheap ssd's ). maybe i'm lucky but none of them are giving me weird issues. (Plextor didn't even appear in this article for some reasons, http://www.hardware.fr/articles/911-7/ssd.html)

when i got my Plextor drives, i have read from many reviews and comments, except for a few who really know their stuff, that i bought the wrong ssd's because of this and that, that i was cheap, that the drives were craps, and that i should invest in best performance ones. so, i went ahead and got 2x 256gb samsung 840 pro. they were right, 840 pro indeed has its values (it's a good investment if you have more spares). but guess what? i now know for a fact that there are no significant differences based on my daily usage. also, all my purchases were new in unopened, sealed boxes and packages; and i got them from different sellers, local and outside the country. statistically i couldn't be that lucky that all my drives have no defect, the opposite of what they claimed (e.g. these 'crap' drives boot my laptops under 15secs without fast startup lol!). if i am that lucky, i think i must try buy lotteries from now on.

reading reviews are good. listening to what people have to say is also fine. please just bear in mind that some people just like to read reviews and tell stories based on imaginations. please make your own judgements by filtering what you have done for research. (or just f them all and grab what you can )

Wow, thanks so much for sharing the experience.

But since I can't afford the Plextors which are expensive as heck, I'll stick to the Samsung Evo 840 250GB. Guess it's settled then.

Thanks again man. Cheers!

Guys, wanna ask my laptop Dell inspiron i7 7000series come with sata 2 or sata 3 becos i just got myself a samsung evo. My main concern is whether i am getting the ssd speed of sata3.tq

have fun

if it's a ivy-bridge/haswell machine it's fine.

From what I knew Plextors would be same grade with Crucial or Corsair
Inb4 OCZ are top speed

Confirmed not bundle price.

Didn't know it's difficult to find SSD in stock, too lazy to go to lowyat.

Anyone knows where else I could get it? I'm in shah alam.

Looking for samsung 840 evo 256gb. Digital mall?

Anyone here using ssd to play battlefield 4?
