Most reliable SSD released in the last 5 years?

[Sniper82]

Im still using a old 3.5" OCZ Vertex 2 which back about 5 years ago was suppose to have a high failure rate. Its been ran everyday. I say go with whatever is cheap or within your budget and just backup often. I don't keep anything important on a SSD though.

I'd vote Crucial these days in general, have a few Sammys also.

The main rig has the Sammy 850 EVOs, but have put Crucials in a few others here and friends rigs.

I still see nothing at all wrong with a 850 EVO myself, I've had no problems with mine.

I use 3 850 evos myself. The 5 year warranty is what called me to it.

Not trying to be smart.

I am just saying what others have said in this thread, which is that the use case is irrelevant to my question, since some posts have asked for my use case.

Well yes, with your stipulations that it is an average user with an average use case I guess you are kind of correct -- but then again, that IS a use case.

Also going to vote Intel.

One of my G2s in my raid array is from dec 2009 has 5.76 TB of host writes Estimated Life remaining is still 100%

Still running an Intel 510 from 4.5 years ago and its still as strong as it ever was. If I only had one choice it would be Intel. Shame they don't make any 1TB drives that are affordable.

I have a 60 GB G.Skill Sniper SSD in this laptop and it was bought on ebay. It's been at 100% health since about four years ago. Now just about two months ago it's 98% health, but still ticking. I'm going to buy a new SSD soon though. Point is no matter what brand you get some can be a lemon and some aren't. I even bought my first 120 GB Sandforce based Adata SSD about four years ago and it's still ticking. I even had it in XP Pro 64! That had no TRIM command capability.

A person brought to my attention that the newest Crystaldiskinfo doesn't show the percent of drive health. I'm using version 5.6.2 and you can download it here: http://osdn.jp/projects/crystaldiskinfo/downloads/58588/CrystalDiskInfo5_6_2.zip/
