Guys I want to buy SSD, I gone through so many reviews about these two (none of them from tech power up what I prefer), so basically I am test engineer (in Database- ETL and Web Service to be precise)(MS Windows 7 64 Bit), apart from that I do gaming a lot...so which one I should buy...

I am facing long boot time issue, and issue when I run DB (MS SQL Server 2008 R2)

My budget is INR 5000/- (USD $ 77.99/-), but I am not very strict with budget, I can afford 1k to 2k (INR), if only necessary...

Please suggest....


Samsung 850 Pro 128 GB

ADATA Premier Pro SP600 128 GB

Get the 850 Pro, no contest.
 
Since you're using it for gaming and SQL I'd get an 250gb EVO for around 2000 (INR) more.

Yea, I was saying it's only around 2000+ INR more than the pro, But it's actually only 1487 more. I'm just saying for a little bit more you're getting almost twice the space. You can't go wrong with either drive.

Seems you are right but then I have to invest 4000 more than my original Budget....ok...one thing can you please tell me the Load time of windows 7 64 bit on both ssd's...

Is it good test..they have tested restart load time of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit with only vga driver installed. That takes 11.29 Sec. for Samsung 850 EVO 120 GB and 11.30 Sec for Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB.....What you suggest...???

is there a need for 1 or 2 sec faster boot time? if your after boot time, consider upgrading to windows 8.1. enable fast boot and youre done. my laptop with celeron haswell cpu can boot less than 20 secs with hybrid hdd (seagate). of course boot time also depends on the start up programs. i dont like lots of starting up programs so that also help.

120gb is not alot of space these days. try stretching to 250gb as mindreaver says.
 
I found it the load time and the game level load time in TPU it self well not as a measure review but as chart description...Thanks anyway..
