Plextor M5 Pro 256 GB
Plextor M 5 Pro 256 GB opens the top ten solid-state drives to date. SSD with chips of the new generation provides high speed of reading and writing data - 440 MB / s and 510 MB / s, respectively. In addition to speed, the drive boasts a thin profile, which makes it possible to install it even in ultrabooks.
9
Crucial MX100256 GB
In the ninth place among the best SSD-drives 2016 - Crucial MX 100 256 GB .During testing, the Crucial MX100 256GB showed results that fully met the manufacturer's promises. The maximum speed of reading / writing in synthetic benchmarks was 522/345 MB / s and does not depend on the percentage of filling the device. To the strengths of the drive can be attributed the speed of work with 4K blocks and performance in real applications.
8
GoodRAM Iridium Pro 240 GB
GoodRAM The Iridium Pro The 240 GB takes the eighth line in the ranking of the best SSDs of 2016.A high-performance solid-state drive has a warranty of 5 years, which already indicates its reliability. This is an excellent option for replacing a regular hard drive, providing a significant increase in system performance. Based on the test data, the drive copes with the tasks set. He not only confirmed the claimed speeds of the developers at work, but even slightly exceeded them. The drive is suitable for both desktop and notebook PCs.
7
Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB
In the seventh place among the best SSD 2016 - Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB .The solid-state drive is based on a 19-nanometer NAND-memory capable of storing 3 bits per cell. When you start games with serious requirements and when interacting with various work programs, the computer will instantly perform all tasks. The TLC memory chips are durable and reliable. The drive has 250 GB of free space and allows you to record a large amount of any data. The Samsung 840 EVO Basic has its own modern controller Samsung MEX Controller. It assumes high efficiency of reading and writing data( 540 and 520 MB per second).The device is equipped with hardware data encryption.
6
Intel 730 Series 240 GB
Intel 730 Series 240 GB The takes the sixth place among the top-end SSDs 2016. In testing, the drive demonstrated high read speed, good drive behavior in some load scenarios, high write capacity( up to 50 GB daily) and increased reliability. This drive should be advised primarily to those for whom reliability comes first. Others may consider cheaper models with the same performance. In addition to the high price among the negative sides of the SSD, it is necessary to allocate low rates of recording speed.
5
ADATA Premier SP610 256GB
ADATA Premier SP 610 256 GB The is on the fifth line among the best SSDs of 2016.According to the results of tests conducted on the drive, we can say the following: it showed itself well in reading operations, including in particularly demanding scenarios with the depth of the queue. When recording, the drive demonstrates more modest results, close to budget models. But due to the high reading speed the Premier SP610 is able to compete with the most top-notch SSDs from various manufacturers and does it quite confidently. But in scenarios where the recording is important, the drive does not show the best performance, close to the models from intel.
4
Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB takes the fourth place in the ranking of the best SSD 2016. The top drive is manufactured using the innovative 3D V-NAND architecture, thanks to which the drive is a 32-ply cake, while according to the existing technologythe cell density was increased by reducing the physical dimensions of the cells, as a result of which the form factor of the storage device was reduced. The use of the new technology has made it possible to significantly reduce the size of SSD drives and eliminate the need to increase the density of cells by reducing their sizes, as was the case with the traditional planar NAND architecture.
3
Plextor M6 Pro 256GB
Plextor M 6 Pro 256 GB opens the top three best SSDs in 2016. It is a solid drive with chips of a new generation. Plextor M6 Pro almost does not differ from its predecessor. There is nothing wrong. M5 Pro was one of the leaders in performance, and it's almost impossible to make it even faster. But the new drive is a bit cheaper. Junior models of the line are among the fastest SSD drives when compared with products of competitors of the same capacity.
2
Plextor M6V 256GB
Plextor M 6 V 256 GB takes the second place in the list of top-end SSDs to date. An inexpensive, fast and reliable drive uses the latest TOSHIBA memory, manufactured in 15 nanometer process, which makes the drive one of the leaders at a cost price. In tests Plextor M6V demonstrates good results compared to competing solutions. Impressive performance of the device in real applications. Plextor M6V provides quick start of games on the computer and the operating system itself. At a relatively low cost, the drive significantly accelerates the operation of the system and various applications. This applies to both professional programs and computer games, whose appetites are constantly growing.

Samsung 850 EVO 250GB
Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB - the best that is on the market today among the SSD.The model is more reliable than the predecessor 840 EVO and is covered by a five-year warranty. This is the first SSD using the latest technology, which allows you to stack memory modules on each other instead of reducing them, cramming into the same space in the same plane. For ordinary users, such a function, of course, does not mean much, it just allows you to make better memory with a slightly higher speed for the same money. Reading speed is up to 540 megabytes per second, recording is up to 520. The quality of the assembly and used materials of the device is at a high level. If you are building a powerful gaming PC, then the purchase of the Samsung 850 EVO is simply necessary. All programs after installing this SSD will be loaded with lightning speed.
