Marvell or Sandforce Controller

[DerpyDerp123]

I am looking to buy an SSD. I want reliably and not much in speed. What controller will be best, Marvell or Sand force?

Marvell, perhaps in Crucial MX100 where you also get a good price and good MLC flash.

 

Samsung's drives have their own MEX controller which is also good, but the 840 EVO uses TLC flash.

It'll be hard pressed to tell a difference. Both will be good in reliability and will outlast how long you use the drive for. Issue nowadays is moving away from controller and more regarding the actual NAND flash

How reliable is the MLC NAND flash?

Pretty good. It'll likely last longer then you need it to

I think Intel has the most reliable SSD`s.

And some of the most expensive. lol

Just get MX100/M500/M550 whatever is the cheapest.

They are plenty fast and pretty reliable (not an issue anymore with most ssds anyway).
