Largest most dependable SSDs?

PostThu Apr 25, 2013 7:10 pm

OK so I have a Sandisk 240GB that has served me well, but my 120GB EDIT: Corsair has had some problems. I really want to get something that is 480gb or larger. I was eyeing the 480 gb sandisk here: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-2 ... B006EKIQYM

Now that people have had their cameras for a while and been using their SSDs over and over... what has been your most dependable and largest SSD? If anyone owns the 480gb sandisk I would like to hear what they think.

I would say Sandisk Extreme 480...I haven't read any complaints about it yet.

I apologize.. it wasn't Kingston... I don't know why that got stuck in my head while I was writing my post. It was a Corsair SSD.. and it was getting a lot of dropped frames.

Going to edit my OP.

I have also used the 480gb Sandisk with success. It seems to be very dependable.
