Hi, both are 120GB to store OS on i7 laptop

Which would you recommend? Reliability more than anything.

Thanks

I'd select the one that offers the best warranty.

Both come with 1 year warranty as built into machine

You mean that you won't get a 5 year warranty on the Intel SSD or that the vendor provides a one year warranty?

The vendor supplies a 1 year warranty on the build.

I did originally order to Intel but further investigation showed the Intel having boot problems. Ive had boot problems on my lenovo almost weekly where it cant find drive to boot OS so Ive swapped to Kingston as cant find any bad boot reviews.

Since I only have 2 Intel SSDs, I can't comment because a much larger sample is required to determine there's an issue. If you know the Kingston is more compatible with your laptop, then it's the best option.
