Samsung 850 Evo or HyperX Savage?

[Austin__23]

Newegg has a deal on the HyperX Savage SSD. The specs show it has a higher read/write speed than a Samsung 850 Evo. Anyone know if it compares in real world performance? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Productcompare.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=-1&IsNodeId=1&Description=Samsung%20850%20evo&bop=And&CompareItemList=-1%7C20-104-552%5E20-104-552%2C9SIA3FA2EV1108%5E9SIA3FA2EV1108&percm=9SIA3FA2EV1108%3A%24%24%24%24%24%24%24

EVO 850 still the one they all try to beat, but just can't get there.

The 850 EVO is the king of SSDs. It is even faster with Samsung Rapid Mode, especially with more than 8 GB of system RAM, because it stores cache to RAM.

850 evo, not even close.

Don't trust OEM benchmark numbers, they take one specific benchmark under one very specific situation to say their drive is faster then what it really is. Its almost as unrealistic as quoting a car's speed in free-fall out of the back of an airplane as being its "max speed"

The 850 evo is pretty much better in every regard, but will cost more...
