I am looking to build a gaming PC for a friend, they have selected these parts and I am just looking to check with the experts if they are compatible before I go ahead with the build, any help would be much appreciated. Thanks very much to anyone who can help, any recommendations are appreciated also.

SanDisk Ultra II SSD has high prone to failure rate among the well known brand names.

Published return rates due to failure for 240-256GB SSDs show:

• 2.83% Corsair Neutron XT
2.22% Samsung SSD 950 Pro
1.25% Corsair Force LS
• 0.70% Sandisk Ultra II
0.67% Corsair Force LX
0.59% Samsung 750 EVO
• 0.35% Crucial BX200
• 0.33% Kingston V300
• 0.27% Samsung 850 EVO
• 0.27% Sandisk SSD More
• 0.20% Sandisk Extreme Pro
• 0.15% Kingston HyperX Savage
• 0.13% Crucial BX100
• 0.12% Samsung 850 EVO
• 0.05% Samsung 850 Pro
• 0.00% Crucial MX200
0.00% Intel 535
• 0.00% Kingston HyperX Fury
0.00% Kingston KC400

I've owned a SanDisk Ultra II SSD and it failed after six months of use. I've also owned a few Corsair SSDs that have all died too.

My chosen replacement is now the Samsung 850 EVO. I haven't had any Samsung SSD fail on me yet after years of use.

1. This data comes from where?
2. Fail rates, not return rates. 2 different things.

That list shows the Kingston V300 only slightly worse than the 850 EVO? Really?

I purchased 8 Kingston KC400 1TB SSD from Amazon.
I installed them in pairs into 4 workstations running ASUS P8Z77 WS motherboards, Core i7 3770k, 8GB ram and Win7 PRO x64.
They are setup as Raid 1 just for redundancy because these workstations are used for Autodesk Civil3D, 24/7/365.

I have had 4, yes 4, of the 8 drives fail inside of 3 months.
I am about ready to pull all these SSD and replace them with
WD 2TB Black drives.

I don't think SSD is ready for prime time yet.
