This offer beats our Front Page Deal from June by $55.
The adata has a 5 yr while the hp is a 3 yr warranty if that makes a difference to anyone.
The reality is that hard drives fail. It's on you to create backups for when the inevitable happens. Warranty's sell me almost as much as performance; if a drive fails, I have everything backed up, and I get the drive replaced for free. Sounds good to me.
Apparently the HP is 5 years[tweaktown.com] as well now. Both use the same controller and NAND, while the Adata has more space reserved for provisioning and a larger SLC cache that should give it better sustained performance. However, benchmarks put these two pretty close together and I'd opt for whatever is cheaper.

ADATA is a 5yr warranty, this seems like a 3yr warranty. Not really compelling but its nice to have options if you are strongly opinionated for or against one brand.
i got one of these last week, with the same discount code... people claimed that it had a 5-year warranty, but the paperwork says 3 years, or the day when it reaches it's tbw(total bytes written) limit.

Warranty means nothing to me for a storage device.
If something wrong happen, I don't need them to give me even a brand new one, I only want my data back (and time trying to recover data)
And it's definitely better it never happens within a reason time.

For all the talk of reliability has anyone personally seen an ssd fail? I have yet to ever see one or talk to anyone that has had one fail. Yet I know of dozens of spin disks that have failed and have had quite a few fail personally.

Yes. I have had 2 fail on me personally. One was OCZ (Original Vertex series after 3 years), and the other was a SanDisk after about 1-1/2 years.
But yes, I've had way more HDDs fail. Proportionately, I've got a lot more hard drives in constant operation 24/7 in the past 12 years than SSDs, though...
Point is, things fail, regardless of whether they're electrical, mechanical, or a combination thereof.

That will make my choice easier as I will trade performance for reliability any day.

5 year warranty on this unit.

I'm not sure if I should get it.
I actually returned the unopened 960GB SU650 bought earlier.
