Best 256gb ssd?

[njallday]

I'm going to get a 256gb ssd for my main drive in my new rig, and I'm wondering which is the best ssd at this capacity. I was thinking the Crucial M4 or the Samsung 830. I'm just wondering what ssd you would suggest, as I'm leaning towards the crucial.

If it was my cash, it'd be the Samsung 830.

Same. But if someone gave me either I would be happy. They are the best two SSDs out there in terms of reliably/speed.

I would grab whichever one is cheapest from the two. I've heard a lot of good things about both drives

^+1 They are both fantastic, although crucial do get less rma's so that may be something to think of

I would go for the samsung 830, because it's cheaper most of the times.
But if you can find a Crucial m4 cheaper, and make sure it's not the "m4 slim". Then grab that one.

There is no difference between the 9 and 7mm versions. I would personally go for the 7mm as it could go in a laptop at a later data, since most of the newer note/ultrabooks are using slim drives.

Well on Amazon, the Crucial is $199.99, and the Samsung is $198.99. So it essentially doesn't matter which one, really? I like that the Samsung 830 is all Samsung, but the Crucial is apparently the most reliable drive out there.

heres something to think about, do crucial get less RMA's cause they sell less Units as opposed to say Corsair

It's a percentage...
