Samsung MZ-7KE256BW

Advantages: The first swallow on V-NAND. And this:

- Very high read / write speed (at the level of expensive Flexors. This disk, of course, also costs decently, but it should provide a much larger number of read / write cycles).
- Unreal high speed of work with small files. See IO tests on R / W 4K blocks. Faster ramdisk only.
- High reliability (judging by the statements) - for this model, 150 TB per record (for 512GB / 1TB models, even 300TB). In theory, it should be enough for at least five years of active use (roughly speaking: "bought and do not worry").
- Includes high-quality software for monitoring, optimizing the system for SSD, testing the performance of all media in the system.

Disadvantages: - There is no sled 2,5 '-> 3.5' in the set.
- Samsung Migration software could not properly transfer the system partition to the SSD. I had to use third-party software. I recommend AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro. Here the instruction: disk-partition.com/articles/samsung-data-migration-cloning-failed-0528.html
IMPORTANT: Clone system partitions should be in Pre-OS mode: disk-partition.com/lib/PreOS-mode.html
Those. after making the cloning settings (see link above), click the "Apply" button and press "Shift". After that, the system will reboot and cloning will be performed before loading the main OS. After the cloning and before the first system launch on the new disk, be sure to disconnect the old system disk from the motherboard (If you have Windows 7/8).

Comment: The first SSD, which is not scary to put the system, throw off projects and just work without thinking about the fact that you will have to pay for speed with an increased risk of failure. In our office a year ago, for example, together, in less than a year of work, the usual NAND-SSDs from Kingston and Intel died. With Kingston, even data could not be recovered.
If you, like me, avoid SSD due to their low durability, read about this disk. Apparently, the era of normal SSD has finally come.

Advantages: 1. High read / write speed.
2. Very low response time.
3. RAPID mode increases the system boot speed for a couple of seconds.
4. Convenient and functional software included.
5. Beautiful.
6. Warranty 10 years.

Disadvantages: 1. Awful package: only the disc itself and the DVD with the program, if you have a laptop, then the USB to SATA cable will have to be bought separately, but it is better to reinstall Windu if it wasn’t an SSD before.

Comment: Heats up to 60 ° in a laptop, probably because of the 40nm process technology, but it's not scary.

Comment: at the end of acquired)) put on MSI GT70 2PE beech system. The system is loaded personally, I have less than 10 seconds on Windows 8.1. I scoffed at him as best I could for 1.5 months after the acquisition ... I do not know how to fly sorrow .. I am satisfied that the elephant is ..

Advantages: Hope that reliable

Disadvantages: High price

Comment: Speeds in CrystalDiskMark
Seq 525.1 499.4
512k 408.0 474.7
4k 32.54 67.96
4k QD32 226.8 247.8

I did not find anything outstanding in speeds.
There is a function RAPID Mode, I do not know how safe it is (I think data loss may occur during recording if the power goes off).
When the speed function is on, the following:
Seq 3885 1357
512k 3592 1743
4k 300.6 238.5
4k QD32 698.4 368.2
