$99 250GB Samsung 850 EVO SSD; $199 500GB

[Nehkara]

Hey guys,

I just noticed that the 250GB Samsung 850 EVO at Memory Express is only $99 and the 500GB is only $199 right now until November 26th.

I have a couple Samsung SSDs including 850 EVOs and they're just spectacular - I love them. Very highly recommended.

Yup! very highly rated drives. Would've picked one up if I needed it.

This seems like a screaming deal as well.

Newegg has some DAMN good deals.

960 GB for $270

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...-012-_-Product
480 GB for $150

There might be a coupon code for $15 off somewhere too, but no idea where it is. Even without code, damn good price.

It's $20 off the 960, 15 off the 480GB

I am happy with Intel, Samsung, Sandisk and Kingston SSD drives. Never had an issue. Unfortunately with electronic's it's luck of the draw at times. You could be unlucky and get a lemon.

Had issues with other brands, but the above have been solid for me personally.

Spec wise, Sandisk are a little slower, but TBH, I can't really notice the speed difference between SSD. Maybe an extra flicker or half a second on OS boot maybe, but that's it.

EDIT: I just realized the 960GB SSD has 3 star and above reviews on newegg. Zero 1 and 2 stars. That's amazing in its own right. I grabbed mine. 269 including shipping and GST.

The Sandisk Ultra II is a good solid drive. Not great performance wise (maybe like 66 to 75% a Samsung 850 EVO), has only a 3 year warranty, and no encryption if that's important, but still is a solid performer at that price.

I'd still prefer a Samsung as my primary drive but at 960GB that's getting big enough to become the second drive.

Black friday dropped the evo another $30 to $170.
