SSD brand quality
« on: September 14, 2016, 09:05:35 AM »
I'm looking at getting a 1 TB SSD to upgrade my laptop and make it faster, 500 GB is not enough.

The Samsung EVO 850 series seems to hold the title of king in the market for SSDs at the moment. I know that when it comes to SD cards, Sandisk hold that title, and Im wondering whether anyone here has significant experience and knows whether there is much of a difference in reliability between a Sandisk Ultra II SSD vs a Samsung Evo 850 of equivalent size. The sandisk Ultra II is $80 cheaper than the Evo 850 in the 1 TB size range, and Id very much like to save that money, but not at the expense of reliability or a significant drop in performance.

If anyone has insight it would be much appreciated!

The evo is great.
