SSD Price?

[AIV]

I'm wondering why Western Digital Silicon Edge Blue 3 Gb/s is much more expensive than Crucial RealSSD 6 Gb/s SSD?

Or intel ssd, it's vry expensive comparing to kingston.

In short - there is no good reason. Probably WD trying to use their name to sell their SSD's, but fail to realise just about the only people purchasing them right now are enthusiasts or system builders, both of which know that for cheaper they can have better performance

Different controllers?

I've always wondered a bit too. The Kingston SSDs are crazy cheap, yet they still get good reviews on newegg (or at least the 16gb one does.) I would assume that their reliability is about on par with the other brands, right?
