[citation][nom]beenthere[/nom]The unfortunate situation with consumer SSDs is that they are being rushed to market for great profit - without proper validation. This applies to all vendors including Intel. Hopefully these issues will get sorted out by all SSD companies as it's unscrupulous to be selling SSDs with reliability and compatibility issues.[/citation]
Competition is great but it seems increasingly that it is becoming so over the top that everything is being rushed to market and this isn't good for consumers in the end. Of course it isn't good for reputations either. A little slow down wouldn't hurt anyone if it greatly increases durability and reliability.
RELIABILITY IS WORTH PLENTY TO MOST CONSUMERS EVEN WITH TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS!
I'm also not a fan of Intel, I think AMD is more consumer friendly in many ways, but I'm never unhappy to see a large company come forward, publicly admit a problem and come forward to repair the issue in a timely manner. This is good, OLD FASHIONED, CUSTOMER SERVICE, glad to see there is some honor left in ANY large business today.
I know everyone is so anxious to see the Bulldozer come to market, BUT I think AMD is doing the right thing if there were any issues to that needed to be addressed with it delaying the launch. Smart move in the end because consumer will get the best product possible.
