Read the articlefrom just yesterday about how 'quality' manufacturers don't even akgnowledge BSOD issues with their drives, and how Sandforce willt ake months to push out a fix to OCZ, Samsung, Corsair, etc... while Intel has their drives patched and fixed, with no further issues, months ahead of time.
Saving $50 for not having a destroyed OS partition? You better believe it! Or pinch your pennies and buy from lesser manufacturers, and deal with the results. My question is, if you are that worried about price, why are you even looking at SSDs?
