    Does anyone know? Is it like Intel or Crucial? I was told to stay away from Sand Force SSDs because there were some bugs with them. thank you! :D

    Intel SSD(s) are known to be much more reliable.

    Please don't buy the ssd from HP, you will be wasting so much money compared to buying it yourself separately.

    Better off buying an SSD from another vendor and same money. Make recovery media and do a minimal image recovery to an SSD, that removes the bloatware but installs all the drivers and some of the more important utilities.
