750 EVO 250GB $69.99
850 EVO 250GB $99.99

I will use it for gaming and daily use, web browsing and stuff. A little of coding and Adobe suite, nothing else.

The 750 EVO is cheap, is it good enough for a PC 24/7 turned on?.

3 year v's 5 year warranty, speed differences if any probably will not be noticed. I cannot speak for the 750 but i do own 2 850 which have given no problems what so ever and if the 750's are as good i don't see why not.

You will not notice any difference between any SATA based SSD on the market at this point. We have pretty much maxed out what the current SATA interface can do.

Starting to wonder after having owned several SSD as an early adopter, and a model more recently released in 2014, if there is much real world difference to be had.
One could argue that new controllers mean less hitching or weird behavior, however that aside, I don't see why anyone would fork out for the top of the line SSD if they don't do any file transfer type work.

What's the step forward now m2 connectors built into the motherboards?

We're already moving forward with M.2 connectors. SATA-Express was shot at moving SATA forward, but no one adopted it, and it didn't use SATA anyway it was just a way to get a PCI-Express link through SATA ports. Everything that is faster now is using PCI-Express.

IMO, that isn't necessary to get improved storage performance. The limiting factor for SATA right now is the AHCI protocol that SATA uses. It isn't necessary the PCI-Express interface that makes these PCI-E based storage devices feel so fast. Sure it allows for super fast sustained read/write speeds, but that isn't what makes a drive fell fast. It is the random read/write that makes a drive fell fast. It is actually the NVMe protocol they are using that makes things fell faster. It greatly improves random read/write.

So for SATA to survive, it is going to have to implement NVMHCI, and I think that is what they will do with the next revision.

Lmao


On another note on a 840 Pro here, samsung really has the ssd dna down, so a 750 would be a good upgrade over any HDD at this point.

Check out reviews for other opinions. The 850 has a fairly long history of reliability so far. However, many on here will also tell you almost any SSD now will outlast an HDD.

Likewise, in real world speed, you will notice little difference between the two. I would just get the cheaper one and make sure you keep your OS or at least your data backed up.

I still use 2 Intel SATA 2 SSD's and they are just as fast, i am sure if you had a real heavy tranfure you would notice other wise you don't notice.

That's not exactly true. Cheap drives tend to drop performance significantly (and faster) after large number of writes, they recover a lot slower, garbage collection is often a lot more primitive etc.

That affects almost no one, unless you are routinely filling up the drive. And the garbage collection on cheap drives is just fine. They all support trim anyway, so the built in garbage collection doesn't really come into play unless you're putting them in RAID on a controller that doesn't pass TRIM through to the host OS.

If you're using the drive as an OS/Programs/Games drive, you will not notice the difference between a cheap SATA drive and an expensive SATA drive in use. Even when you are doing things like several GB software installs on the drive, the difference is virtually non-existent.

Not filling up the drive, if you'll download a game from Steam that's few GB in size it'll make the drive perform like crap.

Is this what you're trying to downgrade to? Is 1TB too much for your needs?

No, it won't.

1.) The limiting factor will be your internet connection. If you've got an internet connection that is faster than the write speeds of even the cheapest SATA SSD, I want to move where ever you live.
2.) I already said, even doing several GB software installs, and several GB file transfers, doesn't show the slow down that you are claiming. Don't believe me? Ok, just go look at the latest SSD review here: https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/OCZ/VX500/6.html

Just look at the Office install graph. That's a couple GB install, and remember the test is repeated 12 times, so that multiple GB of writes to the drive over and over again. In all the modern drives, the difference is practically nothing. In fact, if you look at the OCZ Trion, which no one will deny is a "cheap" drive, and the MX300 which performed the best in the office install test, the difference is 3 seconds. That's not even a 5% difference in performance after easily 24GB written to the drive. And you'll see that trend repeat with pretty much every software installation test in the review. Even in the file copy test, which writes over 50GB to the drive, you only just barely start to see some of the drives "struggle" if you can even call it that. The cheap drives still hang in there pretty well with the more expensive drives. The difference between the best and worst SATA drive is like 5 seconds. Not what I would call a noticeable difference. If it was 20s, sure I'd say that would be noticeable, but not 5s. In fact, the drive that really starts to show that it is struggling is the Samsung 840, and it makes sense because it is old tech and it is was first generation TLC. Those drives did have the issues you talk about, but that was 4 years ago, and even the cheap controllers have improved to the point that those issues are pretty much gone.

Well, if the controllers have really improved in that regard, then fine. I just know in the past cheap SSD's were crap which is why I didn't want to take any chances and just went for 850 Pro despite the costs. When you plan on having something for extended period of time, going cheap on it is a stupid thing to do. Which kinda falls in line even for OP. It's $30 difference. If you plan on replacing it in 2 years, then yeah, go with cheaper. But if you plan on far longer use, then just buy the better one. $30 is nothing if it'll serve you with excellence for 5+ years.

I've bought 750 Evo 250GB few days ago. It's an old computer (2012), but drive hids SATA3 upper limit so I think it's enough.

I've had 2 840 Pros crap out on me.
Keep that in mind when using Samsung drives.
SSD failure really sucks, too.
There's no warning,it's just gone.

And I got lucky and got a 840 evo 500gb without the slow old file read bug. It was completely disconnected from power for a few months (which is a worst case scenario since the controller can't rewrite old files while idle) and everything read off it at normal speed.

I wouldn't keep anything on any drive I need without a backup. I've seen plenty of expensive SSDs fail.
