Ive got the samsung 830 and ive very happy with it but i wasnt aware the M4 had problems with higher failure rates ?, i think you would be happy with either of these two.

crucial due to better rep and lower failure rates?

Samsung has lower failure rates now.

Where did you find that info as it contradicts what I have read (ie; Intel > Crucial > Samsung)?

One reference to it is in the post above yours.

Andrew Moore works for OcUK so he'll know the return rates of the various drives.

Yes I did see that but one UK supplier is not enough to suggest a product failure rate is higher!

The M4 has been available for longer so retrospectively the failure rates will be difficult to compare.

My info was taken from the US market so consider that to be a better (larger sample) indication of what will be realistic.

Don't think I'm suggesting the Sammy drive is bad btw far from it as it is top tier, I just like to see comments ratified if I think they are questionable (in other words I don't believe them).

I just read far too much when the wife and kids are in bed when really I should be just chilling.

Vertex 4 as it's the cheapest, fastest and comes with 5 yr warranty

crucial M4 or Samsung 830 are the most reliable

The Vertex 4 failure rate is non existant

Complete BS, give me proof, RIGHT NOW!!

the samsung hasnt been out aslong as the m4 so the m4 is bound to have higher failure rates
