Are Intel SSDs good?

[andreaszero]

I'm building a new rig and I'm going to get an SSD too. Normally I would have picked Crucial MX100 or MX200 series, the same brand as my ram, but since I trust Intel so much I thought why not take a spin with Intel SSDs? So...anyone got any experience with them? If yes, what model do you recommend? 530? 730? or something else? 120 AND 256gb.

Intel make very good SSD's. They dont tend to be at the top of performance (except the 750, simply because its the only NVME drive so far) but focus on reliability. Beyond that I cant really say, I haven't been keeping up with the SSD market, its pretty saturated as is and with SATAIII really becoming the bottleneck to performance a lot of the drives are starting to look very much the same.

High capacity drives inherently perform better, just because of how SSD's work. But get the storage you need.
