Never owned a SSD, I just did some PC upgrades on Mobo/CPU but I realized I should upgrade my drives too.
Right now I'm only rocking a solo 500GB drive, it's kind of old...

Im thinking about maybe getting this... o_o it's a nice deal, what do you think?
Also a quick question, I installed Windows 10 OEM edition on my computer, how do I go about installing a new SSD and have that carry over, or will I need to install windows again with a new OEM key?

that or a mushkin eco
its cheaper and just as fast.

I'm thinking of maybe just getting the cheaper 250GB Version of the Samsung EVO 850
Is 250GB enough for Windows and some games? Or will I regret not buying 500GB?

If your looking to add games i'd go 500.
most good titles can easily be 80gb

I use a 250 just for OS and basic applications

I live in Canada, so with shipping and handling and CDN dollar, I'd be saving about $110 going with the 250GB.
I game a lot but I constantly uninstall games I don't play but I also game on PS4, if I don't play it anymore it's off my computer.

damn, u jsut missed the mx300 750gb for 139 CAD

I'm reading that there's some reliability issues with that drive, I don't know if I want to take my chances.



Of course

ssd's nowadays are pretty reliable.
even good ones can have its problems, and mushkin is a known brand.
i got crucials and samsungs and they're all still working, i'd only buy a samsung when it's on a huge sale.
example: pro 850 was on sale for $110 CAD a month ago, and pricematched it with bestbuy for additional 10% off.

Is there a noticeable performance between the Samsung one and the Mushkin one? At least anything noticeable for the average person?
