The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    At the moment, don't buy any SF drive... they are unreliable, and it's just not worth the risk. Choose Crucial, Intel or Samsung. This may change in future, and I believe compression is the way to go, but not yet.

    Sandforce is good for people who don't mind updating firmware a lot and do the occasional RMA.

    If not, look for Samsung, Intel or Crucial.

    PS. I'm using a Vertex 3 at moment.
