Intel, Kingston 3K and Sandisk Extreme all use SF controllers - all have been very reliable.

yeah it's a penalty when AS-SSD runs on SF controllers, due to incompressible data.
usually SF drives quote ATTO performance. and running the benchmarks several times will probably result in the...

I don't think either of you understood my post/reply. My post was pointing out that those who buy Intel SSDs don't do so because of speed but rather for other reasons like reliability and warranty...

Intel is going to give you the best reliability to offer in the SSD market today. If you can’t afford any down time and top tier transfer rates aren’t a priority, this drive is for you.

There are far better drives for the money. I don't know this is even remotely a deal. Even if you needed a replacement fast, there are better options. This drive is slightly better than the...

It depends, It's like comparing a 200 HP car to a 300 HP car
If you're a high performance user and put your foot down, the difference is definitely noticable, even if it isn't you will lose...

After further research, it looks like the "scores" are correct.
I thought a read/write score of 266/286 meant MB/s, but AS-SSD scores are a combined weighted score between sequential r/w and random...

I want at least 240GB (or 500GB would be even better) with a reasonable price since I already have Intel 160GG SSD in my machine. Always upgrade to a larger capacity, not lower... ;)

I've been running a 530 in my main rig for a year now. Might not be the absolute fastest thing out there (and I have a Samsung in our HTPC; it's also rock-solid) but it's been perfect. Even with a...

You didn't mention whether the tests were done on the same machine. Controllers can vary performance by a significant amount.

Um, no, the other guy had it right. The speed differences wouldn't really be noticed in normal usage, and intel has a reputation for making highly reliable SSD's, which means substantially more than...

Ehm no, I'm pretty sure most people are looking for speed since random read/write performance is like 50 times higher than on a mechanical hard drive
Looks like test wasn't done properly,...

The greatest example of Intel reliability was a company with over 500 Intel drives in 3 years with no failures. Intel is all I use at work and home, ordered 4 more for work, limit 4 per customer.

Regarding SSD, I personally would wait 2 or just 1 week before BF for the max price drop. This of course does not take into account your urgent need for an SSD now.
I would expect more choices by...

No, one of the biggest factors if ssd is speed. If you're talking about current state of ssds then yes it would be more on reliability and warranty. Give or take your average consumer isn't able to...
