1. I already have a Crucial m4 64gb installed in my desktop, I would like to have another during this 2013 wink.gif. I will definitely choose Crucial once again, not very convinced about OCZ, Samsung sounds a pretty good option to try now theirs 830s and 840 are quite attractive.

2. Items that are important when I got to choose a SSD, warranty definitely one of the most importants, a good price/gb (capacity), and a cute design (just kidding)

1. I have an OCZ Vertex 2 60GB but I do plan on getting another one to hold game files on. Brand will depend on the price per GB.

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near
future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot
Memory, Samsung, or other)? I do not own a SSD, not really considering it, but it's a great idea.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD
(price, performance, brand, other)? Price and performance for that price range.

I own a Crucial M4 64GB and 256GB Samsung 830.
I am in the market for another 256GB and 124GB. I am currently considering Samsung/Crucial/OCZ Vertex 4

1. Do you currently own an SSD and are you planning on purchasing one in the near
future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot
Memory, Samsung, or other)?

Answer #1 : Yes, I currently own a 256GB Samsung 830. I do plan on buying another one or possibly two so I can have separate drives for my Steam games, etc.. The only brands I will look at are Crucial, Samsung and Intel.

2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD
(price, performance, brand, other)?

Answer #2 : Reliability. Speed can come second, but my data is sometimes irreplaceable so I need it to be reliable. Which is why I only look at 3 brands for my SSDs.

Yes, I own and use a Samsung 830 SSD. However, at only 256 GB I've been looking into buying another one for a RAID setup. Intel's hardware is generally very good quality and it would be nice to see how their SSD's perform.

I'd say brand is the most important thing to consider.

future? If so, which brands are you considering (Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot

I do not own an SSD, at the moment. I am planning on purchasing one in February. As for the brand, I would go for any reliable brands.


2. What is the most important consideration you make when you purchase an SSD
(price, performance, brand, other)?

I first look at the dependability and then the price of the particular SSD.
