I bought an Intel 330 180GB and a Samsung 128GB 830 Series at the end of 2012. I was going to upgrade HDs, but I just never got the time to do it (long story).
Are these even remotely competitive with the Seagate 600 (256GB) and Crucial MX100 (256 and 512 GB)?
The Intel and Samsung are unopened so i could recoup my cost easily on ebay. Should I dump one or both of these?
I always got the impression that the 840 Series wasn't even close to as good as the 830 Series (unless you went Pro).
The reliability of the 830 does seem to speak for itself. I am leaning toward keeping the 830 but getting rid of the Intel. The thing that kills me about the 830 is that it is the smallest drive that I have at 128GB.
I am going to be getting some free time in the near future and need to figure out what SSD I am going to use for HTPC and home office builds. I recently got in on some good deals on the Crucial MX100 and Seagate 600.
Would love to hear from this group.
