Is this type of performance in games a RAM issue?

If you are asking my personal opinion I like Intel SSD's because of their reliability. I use the Intel 335 Series because they are fast and very reliable. I also buy boxed versions. For me, HHD bare drives or OEM are fine, but for SSD I prefer them in a box, along with the drive you get the bracket, screws, and cables. Also, the box helps keep it from shipping damage. Intel's 530 series is also good, and a new model, the 535 series is now out and at a reasonable price.

If you do not need the adapter, bracket, screws and cables, then an OEM should be fine. Newegg does not always have the best price or choice, although they do sometimes have them on sale. Intel drives here [copy and paste the entire link]:

Use the Intel SSD Toolbox, it is a great utility to keep your Intel SSD cleaned up, use it at least once a week, I use mine more often. You probably know this, but never defrag an SSD, for one thing it shortens it's life and because it contains no disks [as an HHD] the data does not need to be moved from place to place as is done with defrag. You can download it here:

Intel doesn't got the best reliability. also theyr not as fast. And very expensive.
it's branded that's why the price. Because people like you think Intel is better. Like mac vs windows pces. People think mac is better so they buy it. Intel isn't automatically best in everything.

Samsung 850 Pro 512GB seems to be the way to go.

Not worth the price premium for home users.
Samsung EVO or Crucial MX200 are the way to go.

Thanks for the help, everyone. I think I'm going to go for the Samsung EVO because it seems to be a favorite among a lot of people. But one more thing: I'm considering the 120GB version because I'm probably not going to have many games on it at once, only ones that have this sort of issue (which are very few). However, I noticed that the 120GB version of the EVO series has 410MB/s sequential write speed compared to the other models' 520MB/s, among other worse specifications. I'm pretty uneducated on hard drives, so, does the 120GB version have a major disadvantage compared to the other ones? I'm only looking to solve the freezing issues, loading times are just a luxury to me.

Cooliosis...

I believe the 120GB Samsung 850 EVO has 540MB/S read speed and write speed of 520MB/s.

Click Here

If you go down to the specifications tab, you'll see the correct speeds.

I have seen the 240GB drive on sale quite often for 99.00.

Best,

GTAV loads about the same speed for me from both HDD, and SSD. However it does run a bit smoother in game with the SSD.
I turned my page-file off.

cooliosis · May 5, 2015

Alright, guess I'm going for the 850 EVO, thanks for the help everyone

Cooliosis, I hope it sorts the issue out for you but if not, at least you'll have a nice SSD

Did you even look at the newegg link I supplied? Newegg has an Intel 120GB 535 series for 69.99, shipping included. And, you are saying that is expensive? Copy and paste the entire link into your browser. Other Intel drives are listed on that page for those that do not want the 535 series.

Don't know if you bought the SSD yet, but I am curious why no one recommends you go for a Crucial MX100. The MX200 is newer and cheaper but has no track record yet (SSD issues show up after a longer period of time, durability matters more than anything). I would definitely avoid the EVO drives because they do not have power safe caps that protect the SSD during power failures, are not cheaper than MX100/200 and have no significant advantage over them either.

MX100 is the number one most trustworthy SSD on the market atm for consumers, but they are no longer being produced (replaced by MX200). Grab one if you can.

This. Avoid the EVO, they have been both inconsistent in performance and reliability. It was an interesting design route by Samsung, using cheaper chips with better software to cover the performance gap, but it doesn't seem to work well yet.

I have a 256GB MX100, would definitely recommend it as an entry level SSD, it's not ridiculously fast, but comes pretty close to the SATA6Gbps bottleneck on reads. I think it is one of the best designs to go around, simple and with what seems like very little software. Any lack of speed it has it will make up for in reliability.
