Can't decide between them, and reviews are pretty much 50-50 from what I have seen.

For those who have either: any problems reliability wise?

Looking for reliability > slightly faster speed

+ any others I should be considering over these?

They're both great, flip a coin.


Not really.

Higher speed drives such as Corsair and OCZ look good on paper but in real world use the speed difference between them and the drives you've picked makes no noticeable difference.

You're looking at the same Solid State controller, and the advertised GB are the only difference. I run a 510 240 or w/e it is in my MBP and my main PC - they are rock solid. I also run a Crucial as my storage drive in a Firewire enclosure for my MBP. Both drives are great.

Use the Sandforce controller at your own risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And as reLapse stated, ignore stats, the performance is literally the same - I have a 17s boot time on my MBP compared to my mate's some minute or so on a platter.

I'd go with the Crucial, no far-reaching reasons, just preference.

I'd go with the Intel, no far-reaching reasons, just preference.

for a layman like me id go the intel, only cos ive heard of it

plz dont burn me!!

warranty?
price?

Both offer a limited three year warranty.

$10 difference between them.

They are both the same controller, so are in effect exactly the same drive with different storage sizes. The price will and typically is slightly higher for the Crucials. I'm not sure of any reason, outside of brand name.

At least they've moved pretty quickly to try to fix it.

Wasn't aware of that, though I'd still go with Crucial.

This is one of the first major issues I've seen from their products.
