Some people swear by a brand, others go strictly by reviews..etc

I have used OCZ, Crucial, and Kingston SSD's and found all to work well.

I currently use 3 OCZ Vertex3 120's in my PC in a RAID-0 setup and have enjoyed the speed and reliabilty.

I have a laptop with a Kingston, which has been good--but not really as fast as you'd expect going to a SSD from a HDD.

One thing people say is that OCZ is unreliable, albeit fast--but the Sandforce controllers were hit or miss--

I've also heard multiple people say, as well as reviews--that the Crucial M4 are fast, reliable, and all around a superior SSD.

The new OCZ Vertex4 using their Indinilinx Everest controller are getting good reviews and may be OCZ's response to the criticism of the Vertex3.

The prices overall now, are much cheaper than even a few months ago--and are a logical alternate to HDD's.

I'd recommend either Crucial or OCZ--base it on price and reviews and either way--the performance boost is a great reward.

..man, that was alot of typing..lol

My experience has been with OCZ, Crucial & Samsung.
My vote goes to Samsung, even though I didn't have any issues with the others.

I personally always recommend Crucial, because Micron (the parent company of Crucial) has factories in the USA. To me, given the minute differences between different SSD brands' offerings, I'd always rather go with the one that's made in the USA.

To me so many are the same thing only different that in those cases it's whatevers cheapest or on sale. For high reviews/dependability Plextor is another one, as well as Intel.

Got two Corsair Force GT in RAID0 working quite well
A few of my friends have Corsair SSD's too, and they have had no problems with them.
Have built a few rigs with Kingston SSD's also with no problems. As long as you go with one of the bigger brand you will be set
