    Hi

    What does the "basic" kit of the Samsung 830 include? nothing but the drive itself?
    I got a Corsair Force GT 90 but I guess the mounting is different?

    Would you recommend the Samsung 830 256GB over the Corsair Force GT 240GB?

    Regards

    If you've already got the mounting kit, SATA cables etc. from your current SSD then the basic version of the 830 will be fine.

    Yeah the 830 is better than the Force GT. Not as good as the Corsair Performance Pro but that costs quite a bit more.

    Ok, so the mounting bracket and screws that came with my current SSD are universal and fit any/most SSDs?

    Both of those are 2.5in drives (as are almost all SSDs) so any 2.5 to 3.5in bracket will work.
