Hi, this is my first post. I hope everyone will be patient enough with me 
I have Asus N61JQ notebook, and I'm very interested to buy 64-90GB SSD.
My only concerns are :
1. Performance degradation.
It seems when this happens, the only solution for any brands (except Intel) is to erase the whole drive & restore from backup. Is it really that cumbersome to use SSD ? Is Intel the only SSD manufacturer that currently provides a utility to optimize SSD performance without taking such a destructive approach?
2. Durability
I keep reading reports of premature death of SSD almost everywhere in the net. Frankly it sounds too horrifying for me. What is the likelihood to have a bad drive ?
3. SSD & notebook compatibility.
I keep hearing that notebook & SSD often have compatibility problem, like BSOD, detection problem, reliability problem, performance problem, etc.
How often does this happen ? Even in Corsair forum, the support guy does not recommend their famous Force SSD series on any OEM laptop unless compatibility is assured by the laptop OEM. How bad is the situation really ?
4. SSD controller.
Taking performance aside, is it true that Sandforce controller is more problematic than Indilinx, esp in compatibility ?
5. Corsair vs. Mushkin
Which one has better record in SSD products ?
Thanks
