Either one would be a good choice. The Samsung is slightly faster according the the specs, but in reality, you'll never see a performance difference.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The difference in speed won't really be measurable or that noticable. I would say go with which ever is the best price at the time. I bought the SanDisk during Black Friday weekend because it happened to be $130 at the time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to the Newegg website, the SanDisk Ultra uses 3D nand whereas the Evo uses TLC. 3D nand is more durable than TLC. it handles more program /erase Cycles. For that reason I would go with this SanDisk Ultra, or the find the Samsung Pro somewhere, a product which specifically States on its website that it uses MLC, which is also lasts longer than TLC. Note that I can't find any statement on the sand disc website which confirms the 3D nand. I'm just getting that from the Newegg website.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I think the SanDisk has slightly higher read rates. But besides that not much difference. Either one will do the same job. I have used and installed both many times.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would go with sandisk decause they have more history in memory chip than Samsung, not say the Samsung is bad.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Samsung is the better of the 2 drives from a technology perspective. As for the fit, either would work, the sizing, mounting, and cabling are all standardized, so there should be no issues with installing it in *any* computer.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had this one before my Samsung Evo 850's 500gb.. Fantastic drive! BUT.. Evo For the win! And i built my PC through Cyberpowerpc. Go Samsung! regardless either are great. i am all Samsung now.. WOW!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Also Warranty Samsung is 5 yrs SanDisk 3 yrs
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Can't go wrong on either one. Speed wise they're probably the same in that setup so purchase whichever one is cheaper.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've used both the Samsung and the Sandisk SSD in computer rebuilds. They both work perfect and I can't tell a performance difference. I think price is the deciding issue when I buy one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
