samsung evo is overrated imo, bought 1 and it became slow after a few months and turned out they had a bug that made opening rarely used programs slow.

How are they over rated?
Bug is reported, company fixes it fast. Problem?
Further proves why Samsung is reliable.

"The EVO has been the most popular retail SSD so far, so it's great to see Samsung providing a fix in such a short time. None of the big SSD manufacturers have been able to avoid widespread bugs (remember the 8MB bug in the Intel SSD 320 and the 5,000-hour bug in the Crucial m4?) and I have to give Samsung credit for handling this well. In the end, this bug never resulted in data loss, so it was more of an annoyance than a real threat."

What more can you ask for? Lol

because people blindly go for the EVO when there are plenty of ssd that are just as reliable for 20%-30% less in price with same storage. Evo used to be competitive in price but now I see it is 80$ + for 240gb when there are 240gb drive going for like 60$.

also most popular is not the same as best product by a long shot.
