What is wrong with my SSD?

[jupopp]

I am going to be using a 120GB SSD from Kingston this one to be exact,
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-sv300s37a120g

Is this a bad SSD?

I have heard that it is not great. What makes it so terrible, I don't know lots of tech terms so could you please use regular terms.

I have already bought it so is it terrible.

Very unreliable from what I have heard, the amount of writes they do before they die can vary wildly with what is supposed to be the same ssd which shows poor quality control for kingston or whoever kingston had make this SSD. I would look at crucial ssd's if you want something cheap. If you like kingston then i would come up with the cash for one of their excellent hyper x ssd's.

They switched memory suppliers at some point along the way too, which slowed speeds significantly compared to their older versions of the drive. I'd ordered a 256 GB (a Black Friday special last year) before reading too much into them and ended up returning it before even opening it.

What really is important is if the SSD is working correctly. Make sure ya have an image back up in case of problems.
