hi may i know which is your favorite ssd brand and model ? according to performance and reliability recently i bought a crucial SSD Crucial MX300 , very close to the samsung evo 850 may i know you choice ? i wanted to create a new thread in the hardware section with a compare made by the users of this forum (because there so many ) between ssd seeing we are at the end of 2016 , but i guess the administrators will take it like a douple thread thanks
I've got a KingFast F9 which I purchased nearly 18 months ago. It's a cheap Chinese brand, but it was all I could afford. It was a choice of buying a cheap SSD or sticking with my hard drive. Its reliability has been fine so far. I use it in my main laptop which I use for 12+ hours a day, every day and it's had nearly 26TB of data written to it so far. It still shows 100% health in Hard Disk Sentinel. I haven't owned any other SSDs. My next SSD will most likely be a Samsung. I want to replace my current drive, as 256GB is not enough for me, but can't afford to at the moment.
Have only used samsung ssd so don't know about any other brands . Have 2 ssd's - 850 evo and 840 evo . Very pleased with the performance
I don`t have a favourite as I haven`t tested enough different ones to be able to compare between them. In use are (in order of age) an OCZ Vertex, an OCZ Agility3 and a couple of budget Zheino branded ones. Up to this point in time I haven`t had issues with any. (the vertex is 6 years old)
I've bought and used SSDs from the following companies: Crucial, Samsung, Kingspec, Sandisk, and Toshiba. Have benchmarks for most of them if anyone is curious: http://imgur.com/a/G3zFi Best performers and most reliable have been Crucial and Kingspec, all MLC. Not many people know Kingspec, but I have 6 SSDs and 5 SSD USB flash drives from them all bought at a good discount. Personally wouldn't touch the new 3D NAND from Crucial, although they'd be fine for general use. Had 3 drives with Samsung, but stopped buying Samsung after the way they dealt with customers who complained about the infamous 840 series slowdown issues. Sandisk was pretty slow, passed it onto a friend. Didn't keep the benchmarks sorry. The Toshiba is insanely fast, being a PCIE m.2 device.
I don't know, it's not mine. You can only opt-out from phoning home during install, and it's not intuitive, so probably most users have phone home enabled.

I voted for Crucial because I have 4 of them and I am very happy with their performance. The only other SSD I have is an OCZ 120G which was the first one I ever bought. No complaints.
Intel, any model. More reliable than most. We have some Crucial and some Sandisk models at work. The Sandisk ones are noticeably faster and none of them have failed yet. I had a couple of Mushkin models previously, and though they were fast neither of them lasted very long.
I've only experienced Crucial SSDs on my machines but they've been bullet proof so far so I'm happy to use them.
Samsung regular SSD's and mSATA SSD's have served me well. Over 2 years later and they're as fast as the day I got them. No problems. And according to Samsung Magician are still healthy. And I'm someone that has CCleaner delete my sandboxes automatically every time I close them so you could say I'm hard on them. Secure wipes too, but only 1 pass.
Actually just realised I spoke in error. I've actually got another Sandisk in a family member's machine, and it performs quite well. Much better than the one I passed on. Here's the benchmark for a Sandisk Ultra II 960gb: http://imgur.com/a/1gSsz With a 40gb SLC cache, the benchmark results don't even look at the TLC portion. I would have to dig up another tool to measure the read performance of old data that would long have been moved to the TLC.
Can't really say because I've only used one brand, it's a Toshiba (128GB) and it still works just fine after 2 years. But because I hate HDD's, I want to replace my SSD + HDD combo with two SSD's, is this easy to do? I'm planning to buy a 500GB SSD, storage space is not that important to me.
hi so fast ,amazing i tought sandisk are the faster ,and after the corsair according reading several web pages tests sorry , what do you mean ? 40gb slc cache? thanks
I have 7 Crucials, 2-250s, 2-256s, 2-275s & 1-525. I also have 4 Corsairs, 2-60s and 2-120s and one of the 120s failed. I also have a Kingston 128.
Ordered my very first SSD, a Samsung Evo 850, because it's replacing the HDD in my Samsung laptop, so I thought it might be more compatible than other brands. I won't realize its full (performance) potential as my laptop only supports SATA II, but I'm sure it will still be a big improvement.
You will notice a huge difference in speed with a SSD. It won't make any difference what brand of SSD you use. But, Samsung is a good choice of brand.
