There's no 4440k, it's either 4440 or 4670k. Anyways go for the Samsung, definitely the most reliable of the bunch.

Samsung is the more reliable SSD

I JUST bought a Samsung Pro 840 128gb two days ago. Amazing drive.

It's not 4440k, it's 4440. No unlocked multiplier, big difference. Go for the Samsung, RAPID = built-in RAM caching = the fastest of the three. Speed doesn't really matter as much as reliability as far as modern SSDs are concerned, you're not going to tell the difference anyways.

Nope, still not an i5 4440k. The K at the end of an intel processor denotes that it has an unlocked multiplier and is therefor overclockable when paired with the right motherboard. The only unlocked processors from the Haswell line of Intel CPU's are the i5 4670k and the i7 4770k.

people are getting over obsessed by a processor designation, when that is not even the topic of discussion. Jeesh.

You asked for advice and Samsung was the one mentioned (with good reasons btw) but you bought the Kingston. I realize you already ordered the drive but not too late to change, right? If so I'd spend the few extra £ for a Samsung 840 EVO or Crucial M500 for the simple fact they're some of the most reliable consumer drives out there (without spending a fortune).

SandForce (the controller used in the Kingston drive) has seen improvements but I would still go with the more reliable controllers seen in Samsung/Crucial drives. Good luck though!

try but its the matter for £29 for me to buy a samsung 250gb so if i did have the money of course i would buy the samsung ssd but for now i think that the kingston will be better for me for now and i can also update to a samsung ssd next year or so

Crucial M500 £96

I'd go with the Crucial if money were a problem.. Cheaping out isn't always best. I'd never buy a V300, even if it were half price (Well... maybe... for my laptop or something) but not for my main system.

When you say you're looking between three, you really weren't looking at all, since you ignored the advice on one of your options. Saying "I want to buy one of these, but won't buy one of these regardless" is a waste of everyone's time =/
