Re: [Staffslug] SSD recommendation
I can only comment on my own experience of past Samsung issues. That
is that I will not touch their products at all ever again. I have
only ever had problems with Samsung stuff and I am not the only one.
Others will, of course, have a totally opposite experience.
As for SSD's, check out Amazon. They were doing a fantastic deal on
Crucial SSD's. Be aware that this was part of their Black Friday
deals.

Hi all,
Could anyone advise on SSD's for a home PC.
I am looking at taking the plunge now and have narrowed it down the Samsung
840 Pro 128GB and the Intel 530 180GB for my budget. Both drives come with
a 5 year warranty, which is not a guarantee the drive will not fail, but
does indicate that the manufacturer is prepared to stand behind their
product longer than other 'consumer grade' drives.
Reading the reviews is a bit like trying to divine the winning numbers in
the lottery. StorageReview has tested the drives but for higher storage
capacities. I do not know enough about the construction of SSD's to
determine whether the performances of the Intel 240GB is identical to the
lower capacity 180GB drive. Same question applies to the Samsung, but with
an even greater difference in capacity: StorageReview tested a 512GB - I am
considering the 128GB model. Can anyone comment on this please?
Also any other thoughts welcome (for example - have the SandForce issues
been resolved?)
Many thanks,
Felix
