SSD confusion

[leenaNag]

I know a little about SSDs so I have a small query.

 

I want an inexpensive 128GB SSD. So, I found Samsung 830 and Samsung 840. Now I want to know how significant is the difference is performance? I know there are benchmarking tests but since I am not a heavy user, will it make a difference?

Hi and welcome to Extreme Tech Support - Free PC Help.

Looking at the specifications shown, the only difference I can see is a small one in read/write speed, but in comparison a large one in price.

For what you would notice, I doubt the extra speed which is only 10Mb/s I think you are best staying with the lower priced 830. and save yourself the £40 difference.

I doubt even a heavy game player would see any difference as their main criteria are the graphics card, amount of RAM, and processor speeds.
