Question about the listed SSD's. You have the Sandisk Extreme III listed in the benchmark charts & every time I search for this its Micro SD's not SSD's. Are the charts in error & these are supposed to be Sandisk Extreme II? Edit: Ah! I just looked at the listed SSD reviews & you do have a Sandisk Extreme II & even in that review you list it as Sandisk Extreme III in the benchmark charts. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/sandisk_extreme_ii_ssd_benchmark_review,8.html

Hah, no-nobody noticed that, not even SanDisk themselves 🙂 Yea, that should be II

Yeah they aren't cheap, but like u said the 520 series was (is?) a great drive & Intel's 5yr warranty is worth the premium in my humble opinion. Thanks for the review. 🙂

Corsair also has a five year warranty on their Neutron 256GB SSD, though. On paper Corsair's capacity is a bit higher as is their 4KB random read/write. Their max sequential write speed is a little lower than Intel's 530 though. The Corsair Neutron 256GB SSD is cheaper, especially if one is planning to buy more than one for a RAID setup. I'm not sure how much more reliable one is over the other, though. I haven't bought a couple for my gaming PC yet due monetary reasons, but I'm definitely considering two Corsair Neutron 256GB SSDs in the near future for RAID 0.
