Corsair and OCZ SSDs...where do they rate in quality?

GJTech94 · Sep 7, 2013

I had a Kingston SSDNow 64GB SSD that I bought from Fry's that died in 12 days after I bought it.

Now I have a Corsair ForceGT 60GB SSD. How does this drive really rate in quality?

I am considering buying a OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SATA III Sandforce SSD (Up to 500MB/s Read & 500MB/s Sequential Write - 60,000 IOPS). How does this drive rate in quality compared to Intel and Samsung SSDs?

Buy a Samsung 840 EVO or PRO, top notch solid state drives, you cannot go wrong with these.

Corsair drives are okay, I own one, no issues with it all, but I'd say go with the PRO or EVO.

edogawa :

Thanks for your answer, I didn't even see when this question actually got posted! I just posted another question not knowing this one went through. The new question was a little different than this one though.

From your other thread:

GJTech94 :

Keep 15% free at all times. You should never need to do anything to a SSD typically, so don't worry about that toolbox.

In real world use you will rarely ever see a difference in speeds on a SSD besides synthetic benchmarks. Samsung drives have proven reliable which is why I'd recommend them.

Edit: Just checked the program, you don't need it, it's a piece of junk software. Windows 7/8 already do TRIM for you to optimize drive, uninstall that software.
