1371970 2014-04-04 22:39:00 Looking at getting a SSD for my flight sim system.

Opinions on Samsung MZ-7TE250BW
& also on this site for comparisons:

1371971 2014-04-04 23:59:00 The 840 EVO is a good drive :thumbs:

I would also consider the Kingston HyperX 3k, but I think they may be fairly expensive (comparative) in nz? Keeping that in mind Amazon offers free shipping on standard items over $125USD. Might be worth taking a look their to see if you can save a few bucks, check out warranty details first obviously.

Personally I'm using an OCZ drive. Wouldn't recommend them however. Although I personally haven't had any issues with mine (it's one of the older models at this point) they have gone off the rails recently.

1371972 2014-04-05 00:08:00 Theyre basically all good but always get the latest tech when it comes to SSD's. Because theyre so new to the consumer market there are pretty big leaps in build quality and other technoogy to make them last longer, so it is definatly a bad idea to get an OCZ drive as theyre all old due to ocz going bankrupt.

1371974 2014-04-05 07:41:00 Sounds like I'm on the right track with the SSD.

What about the acuracy of the benchmarking website.
Any coments on that.
