Samsung 840 vs Kingston V200?

[waloshin]

What would you rather have?

Samsung 840 120 GB @ 120.00 vs Kingston V200 120 GB @ $70 for a Unibody Macbook?

Samsung 840. The Kingston has a crappy controller. Samsung, LAMD, sandforce (ONLY IN INTEL SSDs) are the good controllers.

Samsung 840

no comparison, 840 is way better.

get the 840 PRO, the lower priced 840 uses TLC which degrade faster than the MLC.

If he is installing it in that 2008 Macbook Unibody 2.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo listed in his sig, then that is SATA-2 and there is probably little or no benefit in getting the 840 Pro. Right now the Samsung 840 120GB is $99 on amazon.com. If he wants to save some money, perhaps the Sandisk Ultra Plus for $89.

I think that Kingston V200 is an old model. Don't they have a V300 now?

I can vouch for the Samsung 840 as I have several of them in Mac's and PC's; they're all running great.

Please go with the 840, it is a good solid drive.
