Fastest 120-128 GB SSD on the market

Ruszli · Jun 3, 2015

Windows 10 is coming and my current operating system is still running on a HDD (to be specific: WD10EZEX 1 TB). While I found that the 128 GB system partition I reserved is more than plentiful for Windows and every application I use (Still 43 GB is free), I do believe it is time to leave 2005 and join club of super fast boot times.

As of now 1 TB SSD prices are still not competitive enough (or maybe I am just cheap / poor) to be a reasonable alternative to high capacity HDDs This means that for a few more years I will be storing my games and media on this ancient technology.

My problem is quite simple however: I need a boot drive preferably this month, or at least before I upgrade to Windows 10; yet I do not want to throw away given drive in 1-2 years when I'll be picking up a high capacity SSD. For that I need something that is lightning fast and will probably have comparable performance to future drives.

Yes, I am aware that a new breakthrough could render this notion completely pointless, but at least I should try to get the most out of my buck.

So, which SSD should I go with? Is there a single 120-128 GB drive that is measurably better in performance?
Also, can I trust this site?
http://ssd.userbenchmark.com/

According to it, I should just pick up a "OCZ Vector 150 120GB" (highest effective speed in this tier) and be done with it.

TL;DR: I want the Bestest, Fastest, Cheapest boot drive that is "future-proof" by tomorrow!

With the amount of advancements in SSD technology a future proof SSD is an impossibility. A beautiful pipe dream. That said I/O has just as much to do with performance as R/W that said people really seem to enjoy the samsung evo drives.

Samsung 850 Pro. But if you have an M.2 slot on your motherboard, get an M.2 drive/stick if you want fastest.

thebluebumblebee · Jun 3, 2015

Today, Newegg has a 240 GB SSD for $70 after MIR. IMHO, it does not make sense to purchase a 120 GB SSD for only a few dollars less. Apacer predicted that the ~250 GB class of SSD's would be $70 by years end, and they appear to be right.

newtekie1 · Jun 3, 2015

If you are looking at SATA drives, there really isn't much difference between drives. Even if you go to an M.2 drive, there really isn't a noticeable performance difference unless you are transferring files from one super fast SSD to another.

The raw throughput of an SSD is only part of what makes it "feel" fast and what makes Windows and programs load fast. The almost zero latency is a major factor, probably more so than throughput once throughput reaches a certain point. Anything above 400MB/s read/write isn't going to make a noticeable difference in daily use as a system drive.

There really isn't much difference between drives. Seek most reliable, not most speed.

I've been thinking about Samsung, since I got the impression that those drives are supposed to be the best.

On the side note, I doubt my M5A99FX PRO R2.0 supports M.2 drives.

Must be great to have US prices, but sadly I am not so fortunate.
In my country, a "Kingston 2.5" SSDNow V300" 120 GB costs ~56 USD while the 240 GB counterpart costs ~96 USD; and that is actually the cheapest 240 GB drive here.

Besides I don't really see a reason for a bigger drive. I'll only store the necessary applications there and the OS of course.

Good point, but can I get some examples? I was hoping someone could point out a specific brand / model.

Without benchmarks I am having a hard time choosing between the drives.

Samsungs are good drives.....

I just picked up an 850 PRO myself.... the 840 evo I currently have was giving me some issues with boot up times.... (I am hoping a Windows reinstall will fix this) However just stay away from the Samsung EVO's since they are known to have performance degradation on some of them over time. Just to be safe imo....

The 840 evo originally had around 10 second boot times....

If you go with samsung just choose the PRO series.

That is a bummer. The 850 EVO seemed like the perfect choice price / performance ratio wise. Thing is, you can get a 250 GB Evo for the price of the 120 GB PRO.

n-ster · Jun 3, 2015

Samsung pro drives are usually really expensive. Intel 730 is probably expensive where you are too.

My third choice after Intel 730 and Samsung PRO would be Sandisk Extreme PRO

Plextor SSDs should not be overlooked. They make good SSDs too

rtwjunkie · Jun 3, 2015

Regardless of brand, you are better off going no smaller than a 240 to 256GB SSD. Smaller SSD's tho cheaper, are generally (not always, but usually) slower.

I have a plextor (Lite-On) SSD in my G750JX laptop and it performs just as good as my 840 evo.

Did you know TPU does ssd reviews? http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/?category=SSD&manufacturer=&pp=25&order=date

Ebo · Jun 4, 2015

Take a look at the prices for Crucial MX100 is they are still arround in your country. Otherwise look at the Crucial BX100.

Those are the best SSD's out there in terms of price/preformance.

especially Samsung have different speeds going from 120GB and to 250GB, that problem does Crucial not have, they have the same speed no matter size.

Now this is a reasonable argument that might make me sway to buy a 250 GB drive. Would a Samsung 850 EVO be a decent choice for the time being?

I wanted to buy Crucial first, but then I saw the Write speeds and that made me quite disappointed.

Dent1 · Jun 5, 2015

SSDs are becoming cheaper so I would avoid a 128GB model even if it fulfils your storage requirements today. I wouldn't get anything smaller than a 240GB SSD for the OS. Because applications are expanding all the time. You don't want to be caught out in a couple of years. You've already said you don't want to throw the SSD away in 1-2 years so aim higher storage wise. So many cheap 480GB - 500GB SSDs around too.

Going from any disk drive to any SSD is a huge jump so I wouldn't be too worried about getting the absolute fastest. They are all fast, even the slow ones.

Jborg · Jun 5, 2015

I picked up the Samsung 850 Pro 250g for 150$, its a little pricey.... but its worth it with the 10 year warranty...

I don't think you can buy m4-s here. Is the 840 is actually better than the 850? I don't see anyone recommending that.

Cheap is a very relative notion. Keep in mind I live in the EU so prices are already higher (about 15-30% more) and in a country where the average wage is like 2-3 times lower than for example in Germany.

Given that, I still have a reasonable amount of disposable income. I'd say the 120 GB drives are cheap while the 250 GB drives are reasonably priced. Anything above that is a push.

840's have been phased out as soon as 850's came out, so you might actually be able to snag an 840 pro or an evo for cheap somewhere.

Nosada · Jun 5, 2015

Like many have mentioned before me. Don't go for 120gb, you'll regret it later on. Crucial MX100/MX200 and Samsung Evo 840/850 are my go-to drives for builds. If you are on a platter HDD right now, go for one of those.

If you already have an SSD and are looking for an upgrade, wait for reasonably priced nvme drives, they promise to be the first really substantial upgrade over current SATA SSDs.

Speed is a relative term with SSD's. In real life, you will rarely notice the difference in any of them (Unless you buy a small one). Why? Because they all destroy HDD speeds. Against each other, you're likely to only see it in benchmarks.

Because they are all close my advice is get one of the two major brands, either Samsung 840/850 or Crucial MX100/MX200, whatever one is cheapest at the time.

newtekie1 · Jun 5, 2015

Even the smaller ones won't be a noticeable difference. Usually they are like 50MB/s at most slower, its like 450MB/s vs. 500MB/s. You won't notice that difference in real world.
