Gaming ssd

[Zorenox]

So I'm looking into getting a second ssd to use for some of my games, star citizen among them, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me. I was looking in the 120gb-250gb range and around $150, but I'm flexible. Thanks.

$150 will cover most of the "good" ~250GB models (840 EVO, MX100, M550, a couple Sandisk models, etc.)

I would get on Amazon or Newegg, set my price filter to the $120-$145 range, limit the search to 200+ GB SSDs, and see which models showed up.

If it wasn't reviewed on Anandtech, it's crap!

...that ^^^^ . And don't fool yourself, you don't need a 'Pro' model for gaming, any consumer-level drive from a reasonable manufacturer will suffice.

I"d go for this one and not look back.

I was thinking more like this MX100... for 40% less.

I like the MX100 too. :thumbsup:

For a budget SSD the MX100 is great.

Thanks for the ideas guys, I think I'll probably go with the mx100, seems like a good fit.

If you're going to go with crucial why go with the mx100 when you can have a mx500 for the same money. http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-2-5-In...ords=120gb+ssd

Because mx100 is faster and newer ?
