spc-rocket Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Hi All, Just wondering which SSDs you use for teaching staff laptops. We usually use the Samsung evo 840 series (120Gb), I'm currently looking for 40 SSD to go into laptops and was thinking of the 850 evo this time around. Thanks, Ash.
sonofsanta Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Whichever's cheapest, or a Crucial BX100/MX100/MX200 if they're cheaper. Performance differences are so minimal as to be unnoticeable in real life, especially to a non-tech.
synaesthesia Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We stick with Samsung here due to proven excellent support and reliability. We've had some very faily Corsair and Sandisk ones so have avoided those generally however the newer Sandisk units are apparently much better.
localzuk Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Sandisk or Kingston here. Only ever had one Sandisk die - and that was in a laptop given to someone who could destroy buildings just by being in them.
zag Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Get what you pay for with SSD's Intel 120gbs all around here
3s-gtech Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We've used Kingston, Crucial, Sandisk and Samsung. Currenly we spec 850 EVOs, but we've had good results with them all - other than a small faulty batch of M4s that were replaced (grudgingly) under warranty.
ICTDirect_Dave Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We supply Kingston V300's with our kit. They're fast, immensely reliable (we've sold over 2000 of them and have had just on failure) and come with a 3 year manufacturer warranty which is great! Let me know if you'd like nme to quote you for a batch?
PotNoodleTech Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 They're disposable effectively so just use the cheapest sandisks I can get.
pcstru Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Get what you pay for with SSD's Paid for SSD, got SSD, check. We have used Kingston, Cruicial, Sandisk and somewhere are some OCZ drives. We must have bought close to 1000 units over the last 3 years and we have had (I think) two fail, an early OCZ and a Sandisk unit. I'm with the cheap squad on these - lowest price at the time we need them will get the order.
bossman Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We use Kingston ssdNOW 300V 240GB got the last lot for £35 Excellent value, fast and reliable
PotNoodleTech Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Early OCZ's - I had 4 out of 6 fail in the early days when I was testing SSDs
pcstru Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 We use Kingston ssdNOW 300V 240GB got the last lot for £35 Care to share where you got that price from?
spc-rocket Posted April 24, 2015 Author Posted April 24, 2015 Hi all, Many thanks for all your replies, I was in a all day meeting so didn't have time to reply today. I was actually also looking at Kingston and sandisk so that may be one avenue for quotes just to compare. Ash.
Edu-IT Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 Care to share where you got that price from? I'd be interested to know too @bossman.
Wubbalubbadub Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 I'd be interested to know too @bossman. Me three!

bossman Posted April 27, 2015 Posted April 27, 2015 Hi All, Sorry for the late reply but as I have explained to one person already it was a one off deal from our supplier who stated this fact when I ordered, only wish we had a larger budget so I could have obtained more. Regards bossman 1
