Samsung 830 vs Intel 520

[AndreRio]

Which do you guys recommend, Samsung 830 256Gb or Intel 520 240Gb?

Samsung. On par performance, way cheaper, reliability supposedly also up to intel spec as well.

The 830 is pretty fantastic. The problem with the 520 is price -- if we were talking 120GB drives, then Cherryville isn't too overpriced. But the 830 is way, way cheaper at 256. It's almost offensive.

I think most desktop users would be most satisfied with the 830.
