[Stres]

Solid-State Drive (SSD) Corsair Force GT 2.5" 120GB, SATA CSSD-F120GBGT-BK or SSD OCZ Agility 3 120GB SATA3 MLC 2.5 inch ?

[Area 66]

none of them ; Intel or Crucial

[HiVizMan]

Intel, Crucial or Samsung. Leave the sandforce drives alone for now.

[Area 66]

Samsung is good too , but a No go here in Canada, it's dam too hard with RMA Samsung here ( from the mecanical HD remembrance of course) , so I don't know in other part of the world and it's why I don't list them.

Some people have had problems with OCZ (more than other brands I'd say) and others have been problem free. If you choose them, be prepared for the possibility that you may have to RMA at some point. I wish you the best of luck though.

Intel low speed , WTF ???????? , the new Intel 520 is one of the fastest if not the fastest . ....... Sorry but reliability is my main concern,

and please. l my friend use reliable source please, I don't trust italien online reseller, I trust only AkG from hardware Canuck when it's question of SSD. ,

a faster intel ssd is too expensive


So get a Crucial

Only expensive and low performance stuff from Intel, Crucial and Samsung in my country. I will choose Corsair.

SSDs I've been through:

OCZ Agility 128: 3 years running solid, although getting a little long in the tooth now. Absolute faith in it to keep my wife's 16GB PST file safe.
2x Intel 80GB G1s: One died just like that, another is in my torrent rig (for silence). 4 years old now. 50nm NAND. Still chugging along.
Crucial M3 128: Generally ninja fast, but you notice the lack of write speeds (same as the Intel G1 above). Used to be in my work laptop (mirrored the drive cause I couldn't stand 2.5" 5400RPM slow as **** HDD), but they've glued shut my new laptop :( This one is going in my HTPC I think as it only needs to read and start-up fast.
Plextor M4 128: Godsmackingly fast. Toshiba toggle NAND + Marvell + SATA 6 = mind blown. Cheaper than the Intel 510 here too - winwin. In my gaming/work rig and love it to bits.
Kington V Series (circa 2010): Epic ****e. Slow, buggy. Avoid.

I think OCZ - more stable, becouse support (firmware updates) is better.

[speed]

I use Crucial M4 128 Sata III. so far rock solid and fast. I was on ocz forums at the time I was researching SSD drives and their forums were overflowing with user problems. So that steared me away from them. I'm sure they are getting their firmware ducks in a row by now. I would hope anyway. ????

Wow I'm surprised no one has even bothered to mention the Patriot series SSD's I personally enjoy the Wildfire Patriot 120. I have 2 of them rocking my G74SX-3De. Never had any issue with them. Awesome read and write speeds and they are very reasonably priced.

Right up there with Corsair Force GT, OWC Mercury Extreme Pro 6G, OCZ Agility 3 and the OCZ Vertex 3.

Obviously I still think Intel is the best out there as they are to have longer life from wear and tear but that is definitely being reflected in the price tag.

[Radiant mind]

I've been using a Corsair Force GT 120GB for quite some time now, really rock solid speeds on x79.

Wow I'm surprised no one has even bothered to mention the Patriot series SSD's

I obviously like them (see sig) but that wasn't his question so I didn't bring it up. :)

Intel pretty much sets standard for fastest and most reliable

[Spartan-0804]

If it has to be one of them, I would chose OCZ they have the New Indilinx Controllers out which work Pretty damn well. Ive got one in my Work Rig and it is AWESOME!!!! I have the Octane but may upgrade to a Vertex soon.
