What Intel models where the ones that gone bad ?Intel SSD's have been the most reliable I have found. I have installed about 80 of them over the last 4 years...all the models with 5 yr warranty. Only had 2 bad ones...each one was good out of the box, and started to fail around the year mark...but I was still able to clone over to replacement SSD. Also, Intel tech support was great to deal with for replacement under warranty.
How did it die? As of the last thread, it seemed alive.Recently had a 240 GB Crucial M500 die on me and I need to replace. I'd like to have something comparable in speed and price ($150) with a bias to reliability... An thoughts?

I vaguely remember a FW bug that would turn some X25-Ms into 8GB flash drives.What Intel models where the ones that gone bad ?
Buy an older MLC drive like the Samsung 830 or Plextor M3. They have been proven to be rock-solid over time. Yet most people believe newer equals better, so you can find them at great prices.
The most reliable drive is the one that is backed up the most often...
