We have been retrofitting SSDs for a few years whenever possible, almost exclusively using Inexpensive Brand X, with very good results. Disappointingly, in the last year, we had had more of their SSDs fail than we have had total traditional hard drives fail.

I'm tempted to switch to Intel drives.  The 540S series is more expensive, but not ridiculously so.  I'm aware that Intel had an embarrassing firmware bug a couple of years back that (from memory) resulted in SSDs thinking they only had 8mb capacity.

One of my team has suggested Samsung drives, which seem to be priced between Inexpensive Brand X and Intel's 540S series.  Has anyone sold a decent number of Samsung drives (50+ a year) over a few year period and be able to vouch for their reliability or otherwise?

Comments welcome.

Cheers
