| 1378577 | 2014-07-08 09:42:00 | Yes, I think I have decided to get an SSD drive as my OS drive in the new PC I am building now. I see some of them come looking like a card, others have a nice case. I think I will go for a 250 gig one to give me plenty of room for my OS and programs. I am looking at Samsung or Sandisk. What do you think ? |

| 1378581 | 2014-07-09 09:39:00 | I have just ordered one of those Samsung he 840 EVO a 250 gig one for my OS and program files. I bought it as one said they were good above and I like Samsung and I wanted a 250 gig drive as 120 might just be cutting it fine. I'll let you know if I think its faster in 2 weeks time. But then I am building a whole new pc with new mbo and 8 gigs of Ram so it wont be a fair comparison. But all the articles I have read say that SSD's are faster and inherently more reliable the HDDs. But it wont be as fast as the German goal scoring in the first half. |

| 1378582 | 2014-07-09 11:46:00 | Mine is a Samsung 250GB 840 EVO as well. Hooked up to a SATA 3 port and using AHCI and it goes very well. Think it is a bit faster than the German goal scoring although it would be a close run thing!! Bought a $25 plus freight 5.25 panel off TM that has 2 USB3 sockets and a tray for mounting the SSD. Gave me the SSD mount but also brought out the USB3 sockets to the front. |
