Buy: ADATA (AS510S3) vs INTEL (510) (120gb)?

[jvc21]

Hey everyone!

Trying to purchase my very first SSD. I have a laptop (HP dv8t) and debating between these two SSDs:

- ADATA AS510S3 (120GB) = $120
- Intel SSDSC2MH120A2K5 (510 series) (120GB) = $180

Which one would be better in terms of quality/reliability vs. cost/price?

Thanks in advance!

The only reason to choose the Intel would be the reliability, the question is is it worth the 50% price increase over the ADATA. I personally would take my chances with the ADATA.

That's what I was leaning towards; thank you so much!

I'd also rather go for ADATA. Their products are also reliable as well. I just got my ADATA SandForce S599 SSD after I had read its review from http://www.solidstateharddrivereview.org/adata-sandforce-2-5-inch-sata-ii-internal-ssd-review.html. And it even comes with a 3 year warranty.
