I'll probably go with Samsung pro, either 850 or 950 m2 :)

I have always used quality psu's (corsair hx/ax up until my current CM v1000) and kept the disks under 40c, that probably has something to do with them lasting :P

I whould never EVER buy something like a Kingston or Corsair SSD LOL

I bought a bunch of OCZ Agility 3 disks back in 2010/11, none of them have failed me but I figure its time to switch them out BEFORE they die :P I've switched between them for my main os every reinstall or so to spread out the hours, this is my current:



I dont really care if its the fastest ssd, I just want quality that last for 5+ years!
I have a 500gb Samsung EVO for my games, so won't need more than 120-240gb for OS and programs etc..

I've heard people satisfied with the Samsung PRO 840 series in the past..
Any other suggestions?


WOW! If you can survive for that long with Agility 3s, you have the luck beyond belief!

Or you must be an example of the NOT an idiot factor at work, since I always wondered how many users could have problems like these drives supposedly had.

The Samsung 840 Pro is long out of production, but a used one would be great. I have two that are as good as on day one.

The 850 Pro has a 10 year warranty, but may be replaced soon. Still well worth it. I like the SanDisk Extreme Pro, another 10 year warranty model. Anything Intel is always good, if you don't mind a Sandforce controller, at least on standard 2.5" SSDs.

My best advice would be to avoid the cheap, lesser name brands, like Kingston.

My Wife made sure the only deal I got was a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB 2.5" for $129.99USD.

Which is fine I guess seeing I spent ~$1,000.00US last week on that i7-6700K getup in a Tt Core X9 case. My new test bench it is. Horizontal MB and room enough for both elbows in there.

They are pretty cheap here too. I'm gonna keep my eyes open for good deals (black friday/cyber monday was pretty much nothing in the SSD department)

I may wait until I have a Zen mobo in my sights that have the m2 pcie port. Those SSDs are abit more expensive tho.

Did you guys get any good deals this past weekend?

Pretty much the only thing I got were the new arma 3 map 50% off, and battlefield 1 earlier in the week 33% off.

The TLC Toshiba/OCZ Trion 150's I have here are reasonably priced and don't carry Samsungs premium 3D price attached. They've a 3yr warranty though.

See what those fetch there in Norway though. Some items in the EU are, for reasons I don't fully understand, reasonably priced while other items seem double in what they should be.
