easy choice, Crucial BX100 without a doubt. Kingston V300 series is really old now for a SSD, 2 years if I'm not mistaken.

Samsung 850 Pro 256GB @ $220 CDN still leads the charts as the fastest SSD but man these new PCI-E "bootable" SSDs make the fastest SATA3-held SSDs look like poo.  Price is coming down for them though so someday I could see booting Windows10 in negative time (time warp speed!).

Yeah, where the fuck is that fix samsung?!

no fix yet. i've seen some ppl contact Samsung and support said forget about the fix, while other ppl got response that fix is coming at some time. so it's uncertain at this point.
meanwhile if your 840 EVO is really slow you can use DiskFresh to refresh data on it.

So I got a new disk from the supplier (not samsung), had it now for some time and applied the previous 'fix'.
I tried copying one of the older files to a new place on the drive and it doesn't go over 90MB/s, copied the file I just created a copy of and now it suddenly jumps up to 300+MB/s.
Going to contact the supplier again to see if I can get my money back so that I can either buy a PRO or a different brand.

Why the fuck can't Samsung fix that shit with a firmware update? I'm too tired at the moment to properly do the research to understand the problem.

Because they want you to go out and buy the 850 EVO.

so it is a defragmentation problem ? and after few months you have to run a program to defragment it to gain speed ... sounds like a typical mechanical HDD thing ... but with a SSD twist

Think my next super-build will have a bootable PCI-E SSD as SATA4 is nowhere and 3 is soooo 2008-ish  . Windows 10 demands to load in the past!

I don't get something
I've got GTA V in an HDD (off from the SSD ofcourse) but whenever i try to extract the files to the E: the game makes temporal files IN THE SSD !!!!!...And that makes it impossible to extract the game at all
What can i do??
EDIT: neeevermind, it seems the WinRAR temp folder was designed for the SSD,so i changed it and tadaaaaa...

Here's the deal: I cannot get an internal SSD, but I see there are external ones. I was wondering if these are actually any good for gaming. My rig have a USB 3.0 port, but only one. If I get a 250GB one from somewhere, can I expect some decent boost from it, or the fact that it's going through a USB is a serious bottleneck for it?
If it's worth it, which one would you fellas suggest I get? 100-250GB is perfectly enough, and as long as it's reliable, I don't need some special brand stuff.

USB3 is a big bottleneck for SSDs, more so than SATA2 even.
