hi. which brand of SSD is the highest quality? Some brands that im familiar with are ocz, crucial, kingston, intel. However, i know these brands from other computer parts. I was wondering which brand makes the highest quality SSD?

thanks! :hello:
 
i am having a gret time with my crucial m4 128GB.it's a bit(just a bit IMO)slower than other competitors but is extremely reliable.other great SSD makers are kingston(hyperX),mushkin,samsung and corsair.OCZ SSDs are worst IMO.Mushkin enhanced deluxe or sammy 830 is my recommendation.

As per a signed contract between Intel and Sandforce maker.
Intel have the highest quality (better bins) from sandforce chips. They have too some exclusive firmware advantages.. To have that Intel pays a good amount of money, and they surely will make you pay a lot compared to others manufacturers.

I recently bought a 128GB Samsung 830. In terms of reliability, speed, and price, it is an excellent option. $200 out the door with a free copy of Batman Arkham City if you're into it.

Intel is probably top of the line. If you can afford it then go for it. I have read reviews about OCZ SSDs failing within a month or two, though the newest ones may be more reliable.

Wow...lots of Intel love here considering the drive was just released. Admittedly, Intel has done a great deal of validation on the drive but if we are looking for the most reputable SSD right now, reputation for the drive since release might be a great factor to consider.

Intel sells other SSDs besides the 510, all of which are very reliable.
