Asus: Which brand of SSD do they use?

[beginner99]

I'm interested in this model:

Asus N76VZ-V2G-T1105V

Has a 256 ssd + normal hdd. I assume it's Samsung? My goal is to avoid anything with sandforce controller...

I second him. Used two SD Corsair SSDs with not many issues.

Most bigger oems use Intel Samsung or Toshiba.


I know some of the new sand force are almost not horrible and even Intel is using them now. That said given the prices are mostly the same why bother risking it. The first Gen drives were definitely horrible and the second Gen is a crap shoot still depending on your system and the firmware the manufacturer used.
