    Hello everyone....what is everyone's opinions regarding the following:

    Intel® 510 Series 120GB SATA III Solid-State Drive
    Patriot Wildfire 120GB SATA III Sandforce w/3x NAND Solid-State Drive

    I know the Intel has a track record of reliability...but I also heard this Patriot SSD has amazing performance....anyone with any first hand knowledge?? Thanks!

    I am looking for SSDs for the past 2 days like crazy and I decided to wait for intel 520, if it is not using sandforce controller, chances it will combine reliability and performance are great!

    Ther are very few people here that would recommend a sandforce based drive.
    The 510 would be regarded the best of the best at the moment
