Hi
What's the best SSD drive for my MBP (mid 2012)?
I have narrowed it down to 3 these models:
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 240GB at $140
or Crucial M500 Series 240GB SSD at $150
or Samsung 840 EVO 250GB at $190
Many thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Hooman A,
between those three models, choose the one with the longest warranty.

In other postings people recommend purchasing SSDs from Crucial.com or OWC (macsales.com). Their products are known to work well in Macs. People also recommend the Samsung Pro series.

People have reported problems using the the Samsung EVO series and the Toshiba Q Series.

There are also reports of problems with Kingston SSDNow V300 SSDs:
Depends on what you are using it for Kingston is great for audio production. HyperX is unbalievable for audio production. Though if your using it for just the average reason. I would personally say Kingston.
Didnt know about the HyperX drive.. looks great and teh benchmarks and reviews seem good.. On sale at newegg too so at 180$ it is gonna be my next SSD.. Thank you all for your inputs.
Newegg has a real deal going on 512GB Samsung 840 Pro drives - far superior to their EVO series and with a five year warranty:
I would purchase this drive over a Kingston drive any day of the week.
