We published our last Best SSDs article in July and to be completely honest the core of my recommendations has remained unchanged, but there are a couple of new entries that deserve a mention. We are admittedly a bit late with this guide since its less than ten days until Christmas and most people should already be done with their gift purchases, but I wanted to wait for the Samsung SSD 850 EVO launch to ensure that our guide is up-to-date going forward.

Similar to what we have done before, I will be splitting the recommendations into a few different categories specified by form factor and performance. As always, the listed prices are accurate at the time of publishing, but given the dynamic nature and regional variation of SSD pricing, its impossible for us to guarantee that the prices will remain accurate. Hence this article merely lists the models that you should be looking at and the final decision should be done based on the prices at that time.
