Samsung 470 64 Go

Samsung 470

Priced at a whopping $700 for the largest capacity version that caps at a mere 256GB (or $280 for the 128GB version), the Samsung 470's top-notch performance only helps create a painful conundrum: you want it so badly yet at the same time you have many reasons not to want it. So think carefully: if you can afford it, and don't really need much storage space, the drive will make an excellent replacement for your laptop computer. It's superfast, light, and like all SSDs, designed to be durable and save energy, as it has no moving parts. Those who have financial constraints, however, might want to check out the hybrid drive Seagate Momentus XT, which offers somewhat similar performance, has a cap capacity of 500GB, and costs only around $130. The new Samsung 470 SSD has the same design as any standard 9.5mm, 2.5-inch internal hard drive. However, its white aluminum casing looks much better, and it's much lighter. All these aesthetically pleasing features are a little overkill, because at the end of the day this is an internal storage device, which means it will be used inside a computer, hidden from all admiring eyes.
