Question HP EX920 vs Silicon Power P30A80

[sabot00]

Hi guys, looking for a new 1TB SSD. At first I was looking at the 660p for $87, but then I saw the EX920 for $106 -- enticing for its amazing performance. Right now the SP drive (with a really [censored] name) is about the same price range, and according to Anandtech's bench, it outperforms the EX920 heavily in several areas. Do you think AT's bench is representative of real world usage? I hear a lot of about the EX920, but very little about the SP drive.

Also, buildapcsales has a lot of people talking about HP's poor warranty service recently, is that true? They both have 5 year warranties, so I'd like to be able to use it.

What sort of duty(ies)will the PC and the SSD be taxed under? If it's gaming, I'd look at the cheaper drives, if it's also going to be tasked with professional work(that means to earn you money) then the drive that has the best benchmarking scores and highest speeds, i.e the SP SSD.
