I'm looking for a SSD but at the age of 14 and not having loads of money or knowledge on this particular subject I'm not sure what to buy. Can anyone post any links or point me in the right direction? TIA
(Sorry for bad grammar I'm very sleep deprived)
It's going to be used as a boot drive to boot windows and store Pubg and csgo

    Depends what you're using the SSD for?
    I've seen really cheap brands like Kingston or Sandisk but have never used them.
    You can get a cheap Sandisk 120GB SSD for $70

    Below are what I've used.
    If it's for a desktop - Samsung Evo 850
    If it's for a desktop with an M.2 slot - Intel 600p series
    If it's for a portable SSD - Samsung T3

    Check out staticice for the cheapest prices.

      Thanks I've edited my post to say what I wanna do I just need a fairly cheap one. What would you recommended?

      • jpv on 01/01/2018 - 02:58

        Check out the Intel 600p series. That's what I currently use on my PC. Haven't had any issues.

          Why the Intel 600p instead of the Samsung's 850 Evo M.2's?

          @MadGazza: Intel 600p series has higher read/write speeds.
          Personally, I haven't used the 850 Evo M.2 but I have used the normal 850 Evo SSD. According to this, the M.2 has the same speed as the SSDs.
          Both are good products and priced the same but I would go for Intel due to the higher speeds.

          @jpv: Yeah that's a fair point. Thanks for explaining.

    Just get a 2.5" 500GB Samsung EVO SSD and you'd be set. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Samsung-850-EVO-250GB-500GB-1TB-…

    Btw it does not make you 'cooler' using the word 'ass' in the post title.

      Hits every mail list with "ass" ;)

    • Lockster on 01/01/2018 - 12:02

      I don't remember if it was meant to he as or ass…

      • sky blu on 01/01/2018 - 12:05

        You're still missing the point.
