I too am interested in the most reliable SSD - I tried to figure out who makes the best hard drives 5 years ago (Maxtor was clearly the worst) - but before going there I’d like to poll ZDNet readers. This simple poll designed to give an (unscientific) handle on infant mortality for consumer SSDs. If the results are interesting I plan to go deeper. Poll requires Javascript and you can only vote once per IP address. The Storage Bits take Despite the buzz, I’m not convinced that SSD infant mortality is a real problem for most vendors. SSDs are expensive and come laden with whiz-bang performance expectations, so people may be more disappointed with SSD infant mortality than they are with disk failures. But perhaps the race to the price bottom is hurting consumer SSD reliability. I’ve owned 2 (Mac) SSDs and had no problem with either, but that’s a too-small sample. What say you? Comments welcome, of course.
