Hi,
Q1: I plan to either buy a Samsung 850 Pro or EVO from OnlySSD website. I want to know if they are selling "Indian" SKUs or are they importing it?
The chief reason for me buying these Samsungs is the 10yr/5yr warranty.
Q2: I want to know if anyone has availed warranty on any Samsung SSD in India (esp. Bangalore).
Another question:
For the 250GB version, I see that the Pro is Rs. 12K and Evo is Rs. 10K.
Q3: Which is hardly any difference in price b/w Pro and Evo, why so? I would believe that the Pro is better simply because enterprises will install it and report any firmware bugs to Samsung, i.e. will be better tested.
Q4: Should I wait for 850 EVO to become cheaper? I've been waiting to purchase a SSD for over a year.
For the record my reasons for choosing these disks:
OPAL 2.0 support. I need to use win 8.1 Bitlocker to encrypt the drive.
Warranty. I am already stretching my purse strings to buy these, need something reliable.
Use case: Not much at the moment, simply want faster boot and file access times. Do not play PC Games or anything heavy like that. At max I use Visual Studio and a VirtualBox Ubuntu VM.
Need 250 GB disks (got lots of files).
