All the persons I asked said that Intel SSDs are better than Samsung and Kingston and the others
I don't know what are the criterias but it's just what i've heard
this is so wrong on so many levels...
Intel Pros:
1. Its by intel.
2. Its backed by intel.
3. Intel SSD's have a record for holding the word "endurance"
4. On everyday normal things, u wont notice a difference in speed when u compare a faster SSD.
5. Intel honors the RMA on its own SSD's even tho they made by Crucial.
6. I wager an intel SSD will outlast all the other SSD any vendor can throw at. (ignoring SLC unless intel gets to bring out its SLC)
Cons:
1. They are probably one of the slowest drives u can buy looking at today's gen SSD.
2. They are typically the most expensive SSD's for a slower speed.
3. They only come in white... with a ugly sticker on the corner.... again today's gen Intel.
4. Did i mention they are about 15-20% more expensive then the competition, and even 30-40% more expensive on the high cap ones vs a samsung?
Overall... Intel is a great SSD.
Its a no headache, insta boost in speed.
However its not a SSD some people who are speed demons love.
You wont visually notice any speed difference... you'll see the difference only in synthetic benchmarks when your numbers are being squashed silly by a EVO or a Extreme2.
I would get the Crucial M500 anyday over Intel SSDs.
u could not pry my X-25E away from me.
Infact i dont think i'll ever replace that SSD, as it makes the best cache / temp / junk SSD drive, and will outlast all other vendors MLC/TLC SSD combined. :\
