Could someone please tell me whose SSDs are most RELIABLE?

What is known is the Samsung 830 is roughly the fastest but the firmware is not upgradeable in OSX or externally in Windoze.

Fastest at what exactly? It wins some, it looses some.

That's what "roughly" means.

That's what "roughly" means.

Roughly means you are forcing it to fit your intended label. Arguably is more apt.
I can then say a Vertex 4 and an Intel 520 is also "roughly" the fastest out there. The fastest should be singular, no? You can't have 4 in 1st place. This isn't kindergarden. The fastest should also lack opinion. It is what it is.

Sandforce ranks up in speed when comes to compressible data, when not using that the controller is slower than most out there.

Sincerely not that it matters, I would never buy sandforce again until they solve all the issues still abound in their controller.

But basically, either buy samsung 830 or the crucial m4, plextor launched a new ssd with the new controller from marvel, Im still waiting testing to be done to it.

Yes stay away from Sandforce controllers.

The Samsung 830 and Crucial M4 do not use Sandforce controllers. This is important when using Filevault2. A Sandforce controller will slow down a lot using encryption.

The new Intel 330 drives do use Sandforce so avoid those as well.

Really. Your kidding right? Maybe your upset because you want your Vertex to be THE fastest?

I said that the Samsung 830 is roughly the fastest. I count just one in that sentence. It was an opinion when comparing against the M4. You are trying to correct me by saying that I said the Vertex and Intel is roughly the fastest. I never said that.

Besides, who the f##k cares?

Someone wanting information on what actually is the fastest might care. Your misinforming users who may not look beyond your "roughly".
Otherwise... Your tone needed to be screwed with. Couldn't help myself. Sorry.
I don't own a Vertex anything. I have no need to have my kit ranked "fastest".
