Crucial SSD's are of course 100% problem free. Only if you entirely ignore their whole forum where people complain over various stupid things. But sure, Samsung = unhappy users, bad reports...

I've never had an issue with a Samsung SSD. Except for the one 840 I think where the speeds were not as advertised. But a firmware fixed it. I think I still have it running in a laptop somewhere. But I've bought many and never had to send one back
Ive never bought a Crucial SSD
