Amazon offers the Samsung 860 Evo 500GB 2.5-inch internal solid state drive for $72.99 shipped. Also at Newegg. Normally $80–$85 depending on the retailer, this is a new all-time low at Amazon and is the best available. I’ve got the older version of this drive in my desktop and it’s a great, reliable SSD for any computer. Rated 4.7/5 stars from thousands.
If you don’t need 500GB of storage, you can save some cash by opting for a 120GB model. This would be great as just a boot and program drive on a desktop. They run less than $25 shipped at Amazon and are a great upgrade as well.
