  • According to our tests, the Samsung SM951 (NVMe) is the fastest SSD available. It is even faster than the 950 Pro, while it is a lot cheaper as well. Bear in mind that you miss out on official Samsung support in the form of warranty, Magician and firmware...

  • First of all the best middleclass SSD that you can use. Based on the performance and the good price the Sandisk Ultra II 480GB is the best choice. The Sandisk performs nearly as well as the fastest SATA600-drives in the test, but for a much lower price...

  • Because of the higher price per gigabyte a 120 GB SSD is not a good choice for most people. However, under certain circumstances you can save some money by buying one of these. For example in a computer for grandpa and grandma extra storage capacity mig...

  • Though my system hasn't sped up as much as I was expecting, it certainly does copy to and from other storage media faster, and Windows has noted the marked improvement, even if I haven't...

  • Samsung's 850 Pro SSDs are without a doubt the fastest SSDs of this moment. Given that this product does not seem to have any flaws, we heartily recommend it to those who are looking for the fastest possible SSD. The Vector 150 and AMD Radeon R7 SSDs ar...

  • Impressive performance, Great price, Upgrade bundle is also cheap, Three year warranty
  • Write speeds not as strong
  • An SSD upgrade is one of the best ways to breathe new life into an older system with a conventional hard drive. Even older, Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD-based systems that don't support the SATA 6G standard will see a huge speed increase when combined with a...
