Crucial M500 or Samsung EVO 840 (500GB)?

I've read several topics on here about these drives, but I still can't make up my mind on which one to get Any recommendations?

 

Based on these 4K speeds, I'd get the EVO, and by the way the Crucial is 480 GB so the Samsung will give you a bit more space:



Add to that, the fact that Samsung has the best SSD utility (Magician) makes it another plus point and they are known for reliability.

The Crucial is a great SSD but it's in another class (the entry level/budget SSDs) you cannot compare it to the bigger sharks like the VO or 840/850 PRO and others

it's great value for money for $$ per GB but that's for people on a tight budget. If you are one, then by all means get it it's not bad at all, but to answer your question, in one word, EVO

PS: If I were you I'd get the 850 PRO which blows every other SSD out of the water and is priced quite decently for the capacities less than 1 TB

Samsung 840 EVO.

 

The EVO also has very low idle power consumption which is a desirable attribute if you are wanting to use your notebook on battery.

My EVO mSATA is now about 6 months old and has caused me no worries.
