Shame there is no Samsung listed, but from the results presented, Crucial is by far the most reliable.
I'd like to see the Samsung figures too, the 470 has been around a while and is considered very reliable/compatible. Can't see why the 830 wouldn't be too.Quote:

Better write speeds (400 vs 300 mbps), sexy aluminium case, Norton Ghost, plus a useful SATA-USB lead were enough to swing it.
I got a Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD and funny enough it comes with the 505 firmware while the latest you can update on their website is 503 .... witch is weird :\Quote:
