Hi guys,

what is at this moment the best 512Gb SSD for a 2011 (early) MBP 17 inch?
Price is not a concern, speed is (read and write) and stability ofcourse.

These are two of the fastest, most reliable on the market in my opinion. I believe the Intel has faster read/write speeds. Not sure if it comes in a larger capacity though. I'm slightly biased towards the Samsung as I currently own a 256gb model and it is smooth, fast, and very reliable. My boot time is 15 seconds, apps open in the blink of an eye, and no beach balling. Perhaps an Intel owner can give their opinion on their drive from personal experience.

Intel 520 480gb @ $790

Samsung 830 512gb @ $700

Here's a link to a an excellent post on SSD's by a MR member named HellHammer.
