Hello TT, I am really confused on which SSD to buy right now. I am mainly looking for a 120g-128g SSD, and it is going to be used as a boot drive with maybe one or two game (WoW/BF3) Many people on the net are telling me to get the 840 pro but at the same time many are telling me to buy the 840 non pro. I don't know anymore and would like to hear from the awesome people at TT.
Currently the Samsung 840 pro 128g is listed at $139.99 and the 840 120g non-pro is listed at $100.99. Is the 840 pro even worth the extra $39 (Considering that this drive will only e used to for boot and one or two games)? Will I notice a significant difference in boot times between the 840 pro and the non-pro? These numbers that are listed on the specs are just confusing for me. Is the 840 non pro a fast drive? The Samsung 840 non pro has really low write speeds compared to the 840 pro and its IOPS are a bit low. Will that affect system boot times?
I am open to any suggestions since this is my very first SSD purchase. I am really looking for the best SSD for the money that performs well and is reliable.
Thanks for dropping by!
