   Maybe a question for Alex or DST4ME. Basically, I have been on every SSD review known to man and can't decide on an SSD for my build that I've been planning for months. Best I can tell, some are more reliable than others and some have higher performance than others depending on the controller being used. Sandforce, Marvel and now Indilinx Everest. So my question is, if you were building a rig for yourself, what would you go for. I have it down to one of the following but can't make a good choice because I'm not really a technician on the level of you guys. As far as bench tests, which of these would you go for?

Samsung 830
Intel 520
OCZ Vertex 4

I'm thinking reliability is probably the better option over performance when leaning one way or the other. Thanks.

	Out of the three you outlined, we recommend the Intel series. I know you didn't select the Corsair SSD, but, the Corsair Force GT series is our top selling SSD and have had zero issues with them and that's why we offer them as default options on our configurations for customers.
