VFM 250 Gig SSD

Hello,
I am looking for a good SSD for under 10K , Samsung 250GB 840 EVO looks like a ideal choice, but I want to know what other alternatives are available for this range.

Try finding Samsung 850 series. It's much more robust, faster adn comes with 10 years warranty. it also has much higher write counts.

The best VFM right now is the Crucial MX100 @ 7.5k. But since you got a ood budget Samsung EVO is definitely a great product. I use it myself.

How much performance difference can I see between the two products?

Performance should not really be a concern when shopping for SSDs. This is because all SSDs are fast. In real world usage, all SSDs are the same. You will only see a difference when you use synthetic benchmarking tools.
The things to consider:
1.VFM.
2.Endurance.
3.Buy only from:Intel, Samsung, Plextor and Crucial. Ignore other brands. The cheapest SSD from one of these brands will never fail you.
