OCZ Vertex are the SDD with best reviews around the internet have one myself on a sandy bridge MB(asus p8z68-v pro) works wonders. Also OCZ been leading the SDD market for awhile.

wasn't there some issues with the sf2000 controllers? not sure if that's been fixed yet. AFAIK intel drives still have the best reliability record, though the sf based drives are faster.

Just for your information: Most SSDs use exactly the same Flash Memory and exactly the same Sandforce Controller. The problems that occur are usually the mainboards fault(if the SSD is not broken in which case you should get it replaced right away).

I wouldn't say they're all the "same", intel has their own controller, crucial uses marvell, and kingston has jmicron controllers etc.

All Kingston SSDs, at least in the past, have been rebranded Intel drives. Maybe that's different with the newest one, I haven't looked into it just yet. Actually their newest uses Intel Chips, but a SF controller.

Compared to normal HDDs SSDs are pretty cheap now :P
And the new ones work pretty well. But if you don't buy an Intel (they test them before shipping it seems) you should be prepared to have it replaced for a working one lol

Yea, not much you can do about it though when 1/4 of the world's hdd production capacity got wiped out overnight in a flood, though price should probably come back down here in the next couple months.

Also, I wouldn't go that far on non-Intel SSDs, they're no better or worse than your avg. pc components, though iirc Intel does have a much more rigorous testing process on their ssd models.

well there is future planning, 2.0 isn't here just yet.
