SSD roundup: Vertex 3 vs M4 vs C300 vs 510 vs 320 vs x25-M vs F120 vs Falcon II

[Ao1]

To be totally honest, I'm 13 weeks into trying to nail down the problem, and I'm no closer to doing so now than I was 13 weeks ago.

So what you report is pure supposition. I appreciate that the extensive amount of people reporting problems with SF2xxx SSD's may not always be due to SF. Conversely if someone reports a problem with another brand SSD that does not mean the SSD is at fault, or that it has the same issues related to SF drives.

I checked Intel's forum and there is not a single report of a 510 with stuttering issues. I looked into the threads on the 320 8MB bug and found that 20 people had reported the problem. Out of the 20 people 5 people reported multiple failures. 4 people report problems after the f/w update. 1 problem was resolved by removing the SSD and then reconnecting it and 1 problem was reported by someone that had experienced the problem before the f/w update.

So 20, people out of however many SSD's that Intel have sold. Out of those 20 people 25% reported more than one failed 320, which is either real bad luck or an indication that something else might be wrong.
