Mac Mini SSD (solid state drive) discussion thread

-

is there dedicated ssd thread buried somewhere here in mac mini forum? did search , didn't find anything. thought maybe "dedicated" thread might helpful?


anyways have general question looking @ getting ssd upgrade late 2012 i7 mini. want 500-512gb drive. looking best bang buck. limited understanding , reading, samsung (840 pro/850 pro) , crucial m500 seem bang buck. best options bang buck @ moment?
 

let me see how many times 1 can use "bang buck" in paragraph.....

first off, samsung 840/850 pros not "bang buck" because more expensive samsung 840 evo has better "bang buck". crucial m500 has great "bang buck" has been virtually discontinued , best "bang buck" crucial mx100 series replacement best "bang buck" of crucial line. crucial m550 more expensive, faster might find better "bang buck" entirely you...

how many times did use "bank buck"?

real answer there no "dedicated" ssd thread because there no need 1 one. there hundreds of websites tell buy , x ssd has on y ssd. perform in osx in windows. perform no differently in mac mini in other mac (assuming running sataiii controller unlike 2012 , older mac pros had sataii controller).

true bang buck mx100 unless looking super performance, since stated (repeatedly) "bang buck" criteria....

of course @ lesser ssd's crucial mx100 (some of old sandforce 2200 series or psion conroller based ssd's) since have great "bang buck" if want high gigabyte $$ ratio (is bang buck looking for?)....
