Amazon.com: Silicon Power S80 480GB 2.5-Inch SATA 6 Gb/s 7mm Ultra Slim Flash Solid State Drive SP480GBSS3S80S26: Computers & Accessories

About SG$240

I email silicon power they say if i buy from here i can RMA back in Asia with valid receipt .

That means most likely taiwan. i don't think SG will accept RMA but it's cheap leh...5 years leh...3+2....

Want to put in my main build...

Performance as good at least Samsung evo? don't expect 730 or 530 class but 520 min got anot?:s11:
or as bad as kingston v series?

M500 i know afew dollars more but RMA in USA and 3 years nia

i every $ count mah...
if pay less but reduce abit performance i ok....

My experience with SP is fine, previous on SP 120GB (maybe used for 12 months or so), replaced it with 730 recently because running outta space. :o

Just get the 730 for a peace of your mind, if every $ count then you go hoot SP liao but for like 12% price difference?. :o

Intel is international warranty, and can RMA in Singapore

and I believe based on sudden power off stress test, Intel is the only one without data corruption, as they have inbuilt power capacitors

Yah, on win 8.1 now liao. Was forced to free upgrade. Win 8.1 was even faster and use lesser resources than win 8. Microsoft should have gave up 8.1 right off the start. Make me busy update drivers nia.

Dun be silly .Why would you go and waste money and try(unless u r a reviewer) if u can google a review or somethg? Get those branded ssd with proven reliability and performance can liao .Stay away from kingston ,pny sdds for now.

SSD shadiness: Kingston and PNY caught bait-and-switching cheaper components after good reviews | ExtremeTech
