Well....we do have the best product in the market, but its not in a student= s price range. Ours are PCIe based products as well, not SATA -----Original Message----- From: piclist-bounces@mit.edu [mailto:piclist-bounces@mit.edu] On Behalf Of= V G Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 11:40 AM To: PICLIST Subject: [OT] Help picking an SSD Hi all, I'm looking for an SSD for my desktop computer. I hope someone here who has= some experience with SSDs can point me to some good products. I bought a 3= 0GB AData SSD about 15 months ago and it failed inexplicably after 6 months= of normal use. Will not buy AData again; I knew what I was getting into, b= ut took the risk anyway. Requirements: - Decent quality from a respectable brand. I don't want it failing on me a = few months down the line. - Reasonable price. Doesn't have to be the cheapest, but I'm a student, so = I'd rather not empty my bank account. - Size: at least ~60GB, 128GB would be good too. - Has some kind of a warranty (~1 to 3 years?) so if it fails under normal = use, I can get it replaced without jumping through hoops. - Must be SATA 3 (unless someone can tell me why SATA 2 is good enough, but= modern SSDs have higher than 3Gbps performance and SATA 3 offers 6Gbps). -- Note: I'm looking to buy a PCI-E 2 (or 3) SATA 3 4-port hardware RAID co= ntroller and another SSD of similar size a few months after I buy this one = so I can stick them in a RAID 0 configuration. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membershi= p options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, its contents and any attachmen= ts to it are confidential to the intended recipient, and may contain inform= ation that is privileged and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law= ..
