| Bottom line | The Samsung 840 Pro lives up to its name: it's a top-notch solid-state drive for professionals with a price to match. | The OCZ Vector Series SSD would make a great investment for those moving on from using a hard drive as the main drive of their system. | The Corsair Neutron GTX is one of the best solid-state drives on the market, especially for those who want top performance from their ultrathin portable computer. | Seagate Backup Plus carries the flexibility of the GoFlex portable drive while adding performance and style to portable storage. The new drive makes an excellent buy. | The Samsung 840 series is an excellent entry-level solid-state drive for budget and general users, but not really a good buy for advanced or professional users. |
