I'm saving up for a new laptop (Krypton) Just curious which SSD you would pick? I was thinking Samsung Pro series.

I know the Samsung Pro I am having put in the Apollo is top notch. I was about to build myself and already had that picked out based on the stellar things I've read.

Hi texx murphy,
You won't do any better than the Samsung 850 Pro. It out performs other similar type of SSDs in almost all categories. You can read about performance comparisons at the link below. Or you can go to AnandTech and compare the 850 Pro to other SSDs in the Bench section. The SanDisk Extreme Pro is also good. Frank Samsung 850 Pro Performance.

Until there's an M2, I would think the 850 is fastest. I have one, but have not had it long enough to know if there would be issues or not.

I should note, that in my experience, any SSD as your system drive will insta-load many apps. For large game files, there will be some delay. I put most of my game files on my HD, but I have Diablo 3 on my SSD, and it loads very fast.
SSDs were the biggest performance gainer in my years of working with computers. They changed the user experience completely from waiting to not waiting for many common operations. I have yet to buy one that does not work 100% properly. Two of my friend's had issues with theirs, but as they built their own PCs, they had to diagnose and correct the issues themselves. Something you would hopefully not deal with as you are not building. Edited by michaeljhuman - 23 Mar 2015 at 11:22am |

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to go with the 850 pro SSD. I'm saving up for a 850 pro 512 GB SSD and 32 GB Ram.
Also seeing if a newer version of Behemoth comes out in next few months. |

Excellent; I think those drives will be excellent. I'm with MJH above...when I went SSD with my latest build was the best computer experience ever. Coming close to 2 minutes to boot to literally under 10 seconds is just gold.
Got my stage 2/stage 3 emails today with a note that ship time estimated to be 9 to 14 business days from today.
