The 500 GB model of this give you the best value for only $156.99. With this drive you get a 3 year warranty, and it has a MTBF of 2,000,000 Hours.
In my review of the SAMSUNG EVO 850 500 GB, I can determine that it is one of the fastest and most reliable drives for the low price. This is all done by the SAMSUNg MGX Micro Controller put in these drives to help give them the boost over other SSDs, and defintly over any traditional hardrive
Specs:

Read – 540MBps
Write – 540 MBps
4KB Random Read – 98,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write – 90,000 IOPS
Life Span – 2,000,000 Hours
Overview:
Overall the Samsung EVO 850 500GB is an amazing SSD. The speeds for the drive are outstanding compared to other drives in this price range, with a fair amount of storage space. For a home PC this drive is great, it is just about all the storage you will need, and it is faster than you would ever need for a home pc. In the end I would give this SSD a 7.5/10 for its great speeds and storage for a machine that will mainly be used for surfing the internet and even more intence office tasks.

<

It designs, develops and provides computer hardware, related products and services, including laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, All-in-One PCs, servers, industrial computers, PC peripherals, car infotainment products, etc. (MSI Wikipedia)
Specifications

- 4 PCI-Ex16 slots
- 2 PCI-Ex1
- 8 SATAIII Ports
- 3 M.2 Slots
- Supports SLI & Crossfire
- Integrated Realtek ALC122 Codec Audio
In testing the motherboard I found that it is extremely fast, and better than most motherboards at this price range ($349). It supports a beastly cpu, large amount of ram, lots of storage options, and even a few M.2 slots. This motherboard is a great option if you are looking to get into the Ryzen Threadripper scene for a lower price. As this is an expensive motherboard, higher-end Threadripper boards can cost you anywhere from $500-$600. In conclusion, the X399 SLI PLUS motherboard is a great, well rounded, motherboard that gives you a lot more, for the little price that you are paying to get into the Threadripper scene.
