Why does linus always use overprice intel ssds

Why does linus always shill and  use overprice intel ssds except when he forced too, When almost  no builds or storage recomendations ive see non this forum, or shop ive been too consider them worthwhile?

[thekeemo]

Because he doesnt pay for them..

[WereCat]

Maybe because of the reliability? Also what @thekeemo said That may be really the reason.

[xnoobftw]

Maybe because they are sponsored?

[Thought]

He uses what he has and "overpriced" is just a point of view, you may find a $1,000 SSD expensive where I might find a $10,000 SSD inexpensive.

If you could use a free GT 210 or a free GTX Titan X, which one would you use?

 

Same thing goes for SSDs.

[RyomaSJibenG]

Maybe because they are sponsored?

this, the highest probability

[mrswagbhinav]

He's sponsored by Intel so free and they are reliable.

I like how you twist it all up.  Intel SSDs are legendary in their speed and reliability and cost.  You don't see them recommended a lot cos of cost alone.  When cost is no issue, why wouldn't anyone not want them?  They are frequently top of the line and frequently outlive any other SSD in terms of wear and tear and it being dead.  If I had unlimited money, Intel SSDs are the only ones worth putting in my PC.
