Nope. Too mainstream and TLC sucks

"mainstream" when a lot of people don't even know what a SSD is

I'm sorry? I suppose the new r9 series are also too "mainstream" because lots of people use them, better switch back to a 10 year old ATI graphics card to escape social norms.

 

Samsung drives are overall the best SSD's you can buy. They have the longest life, the most reliable read/write speeds, and are priced high for a reason.

I might be wrong.

You lost me at the second part. Intel SSDs are better known for reliability. Longest life? Considering they have no where near the longest warranty, you're wrong again? Priced high? Evos are damn near leading  the market in $ per GB

So having 2 different ssd's wouldn't change anything? Why not corsair?

Corsair uses the same controllers (LSI Sandforce) as most other SSDs on the market, Sandisk uses Marvell controllers for more recent SSDs, OCZ now uses Indilinx controlers, and Adata uses JMicron controllers. Intel and Samsung uses their own in-house controllers making controller/software bugs almost a non-issue.

 

Get whatever SSD has the best price/capacity ratio ($/GB), or if one has a feature you really like, such as encryption, It's very hard to distinguish one SSD from another in most day-to-day operations.

simples get 2 120Gb Samsung Evo's or Samsung 840 Pro's run them in RAID 0 for more speed . also samsung lead in the SSD market when it comes to sata SSD's for realibilty and price to performance ratios they also have a fantasic 5 year warrenty espacally on the pro's. so go with samsung SSD's i would recomand them to anyone since i got mine i will never look back i have tried quite a few SSD's and the pro's are the best ones i have had period. They also top in benchmarks for how fast they are in IOPs and Random 4K reads compared to intel and also their writing speeds are lighting fast compared to intel , intel just sucks in the SSD market they try their best but they can't keep up with samsung complete SSD's.

1 240GB. Simpler to set up, similar performance, and you use one less SATA slot, which can be used for another 240GB drive in the future if you so desire, or some other hard drive.
