Which SSD brand do you trust?

[infoiltrator]

At sale prices usually 120-128 GB makes the most sense.
Bigger SSDs run faster last longer.
Got the Kingston HyperX 120 at $60 than a Samsung 830 ar $70.
The samsung even at $90-100 is worthwhile.

Avoid the Crucial M4 64 GB, slow and short lived (comparably).
Caching does not make a lot of sense at today's sale pricing.

only 2 threads and both those threads involve a hard drives. They hold important data so wouldn't you want to know whats best?

I've never had an SSD so If I am going to get one I want to know what is good.

I read around an many people complain about certain brand or Sandforce or driver. I don't know about this stuff so I need your expertise.

sandforce have had bsod issues. I think those issues are fixed long ago.I have been using an intel drive with sandforce controller for some time now, my issues were fixed after the firmware update. I am not having any BSOD problems now

Anyone that claims sandforce BSOD is a fool. 99.9% of them work flawlessly.

I say anyone who makes up numbers is a fool.

well I have not decided on a drive yet.

Crucial M4, Plextor something, or Intel 330. 120gb. maybe whatever the best price is during the Black Friday.

I'd go Samsung, Plextor, Intel, then Crucial.

Cause im constantly flipping parts on ebay and building and selling PCs often for not much profit just for the fun of it.

Call me crazy, i just like screwing around.

I do the same exact thing. Don't ask me either. 😛 You can ask Termie and Spinejam instead.

Most reliable rock solid drive on the market at the moment is the Samsung 830
Most unreliable, possibly faulty drive on the market at the moment is the Samsung 840

🙂 Funny inst it.

 

[Shephard]

ok Samsung is reliable.

Is this a good deal though?
