    Was it my PSU all along? Will a faulty PSU still power on a system?

    If I recall, the same SandForce controller was fine with other suppliers once they upgraded the FW. I think OCZ had more manufacturing issues than the others.

    Kingston HyperX 3K SH103S3/240G 240GB $140

    Who Makes The Best Hard Drives?

    canon Agreed!!! I personally own 520 120gb which is of SF based same controller as OCZ, If SF works fine in intel why not for OCZ??? Also I think OCZ failures are more because of OCZ's quality issues - it is well known for it, Any way my 520 i never had any kind of issues till now believe me...

    SSD False S.M.A.R.T possible??

    SF had some reliability issues in the past, but guess its all resolved now. I use Intel 520 - it works just fine. I guess OCZ - has more of quality issues

    Samsung 840 EVO 120GB vs Sandisk SDSSDX-120G-G25

    I use SanDisk and Intel 520 SSD which comes with the sandforce controller. I have tried this several times in my test lab & trust me I never had any bad experience. Unless you do not have the latest firmwares, sandforce SSDs never put you into trouble.

    Try for - $1,300 is MacBook Air territory. It’s Lenovo Yoga 13 with 8GB of RAM and 384GB SSD territory. It’s pretty-damn-good gaming. Hell, for $1,500 you can get a Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch or a 13-inch Macbook Pro with Retina display. Lenovo IdeaPad U410 Touch - £722/AU$915/US$700...
