Reliable SSD

[imb4tman]

I'm just about to RMA my third OCZ SSD and it's starting to get annoying. I'm thinking of replacing it with the Corsair Force 3. Anyone know what their reliabilty is like?

Have you looked at the Intel range? They are supposed to be the most reliable.

I had a quick look but their speeds seem a little slow.

They are solid though, if reliability is your prime concern... This comes from a raving Intel hater, who happens to own an 18 month old x25M and is grudgingly impressed by it.

Crucial would be another suggestion.

I'll have a look at Crucial, always been happy with their memory.

I had problems with OCZ as well and RMAing them means sending them to the Netherlands at your own expense :/

I sent mine back but will be replacing it with a sata3 corsair one as my main drive. OCZ are just to unreliable.

Intel are the most reliable, OCZ the worst, Crucial and Corsair in the middle. In my mind, a Crucial or Corsair would give you the best balance of speed and reliability.

The Intel 510 120GB is faster than the Crucial M4 128GB.

Real world the difference is not much anyway. You'll spend more time RMA'ing an unreliable drive than the few seconds you'd save by getting a faster (in benchmarks anyway) drive.

Think the problem is the Sandforce 2**** controller and Corsair use the same on there sata 3 ssd drives.

I'm liking my Intel 320 series drive. I know it's not as fast as some, but given I hardly write to the thing, not a massive issue. It's fast enough for my everyday needs
