250GB SSD-6k

[zapout]

Hey All,

I finally made my mind to buy an SSD for my PC, max i can spend is 6k.
I'm planing to buy at least 250GB SSD. Currently my OS is allocated 55GB, so i want to have ample space for at least one or two game installed.
My primary purpose is to boost the PC performance as SSD improve it by a significant margin.
My mobo don't have sata 3 ports, but I'll upgrade other components next year.

I'm no expert in current SSD technology and architectures .

Please suggest one guys. I want to buy before the sale ends in online sites.:sweating_NF:

Thank you [MENTION=120775]GhorMaanas[/MENTION]
I'll read up the reviews.

I'm leaning towards Samsung 750 evo..waiting for other members to chime in.

Also..do these drives come with mounting brackets out of the box or do I've to buy that separately?

Is zotac premium 240 better than Evo 750?
From the reviews I've read, it competes with Evo 850.

I am using Samsung 850 EVO series SSD. It has excellent write speeds and Samsung offers a Samsung Magician software to tune and monitor its performance and health.
As far as the mounting bracket is concerned, check with the seller if it's included with the sell or to be purchased separately. The seller himself may offer it for a nominal cost otherwise. I picked mine from OnlySSD and they gave me bracket for nominal 50 Rs along with the SSD.
