Intel 335 vs 330 - Reliability

[kool_kid_86]

I've been hearing that the 330 series is very reliable. How does the 335 pair up against the 330 in terms of reliability?

Who knows. Probably the same.

Should be similar. Smaller NAND process = lower durability (fewer writes per cell before they start to fail) but improvements to wear leveling (controller + firmware) will about balance this out.

Intel isn't going to knowingly release a substandard drive - they don't want to deal with excessive warranty repairs plus lose their reputation as making some of the most dependable drives available.

Both drives should easily exceed the 3 year warranty (same for both, if that tells you anything).
