Are Corsair SSDs any good? 
I basically have a Corsair themed build and a Neutron XT 240GB would be a great addition but is it worth going with Corsair just to keep the theme going or another, better brand?

Ive had my 240GB Force GT for over 3 years not on 24/7 with 20something terabytes of writes, and its still getting over 300MBps reads and writes

Personally I would go for a 3d nand MLC SSD at this point in time, but you should have no issues with a corsair SSD

Honestly anything Corsair branded is overpriced compared to others, but functionally, they're decent SSDs.
