Sandisks SSD reliability

[gothic_hobbit]

Hi all.

I was wondering if Sandisk SSD's are reliable ?

The reason I am asking this, is that I am seeing some bad reviews on a certain rainforest site.

Should I go with another brand instead ?

I installed a Sandisk drive in my parent's PC over Christmas that is still working OK. It doesn't see too much use though now they have a tablet.

I think the good thing about Sandisk is that they manufacture their own flash memory. As many of the controllers are a commodity part bought by all the makers of SSDs I think this is important.

I have had 2 Corsair drives fail as a comparison. Their RMA centre is in Holland. Does Sandisk have a UK based RMA centre? I would place emphasis on that now too.
