I'm looking into upgrading my laptop with some more memory (fast, 8gb DDR3 1600+) and with an SSD (fast, 220gb+) but I need some help choosing from all of the options. I'm pretty sure DDR3 memory would work fine in my laptop, but I'm not sure, as it currently has DDR3L memory in it so I'm trying to look for memory with a voltage of 1.35 or less... as for the SSD, I don't really care what it is as long as it has over 480mb/s write and at least 220gb+. One thing that needs to apply to both the memory and the SSD is reliability, and the company/memory/SSD needs to have a good reputation for working well and being reliable. Also, the SSD needs to be under $100... Here are some options I've found:
SSD's
Memory:
I also used UserBenchmark to compare the actual results of the drives, and it seems both the Samsung and Crucial are better than the Kingston, but the Crucial appears to be better than the Samsung, so right now, the best combo seems to be the Crucial MX400 and the Corsair Vengeance RAM, but you guys let me know what you think.
