[geeks] SSD Choice between Intel and Crucial

[Mark Benson]

My games PC has been running an Intel 320 Series SSD for about 3 years
issue free. The Mac Pro I used to use as a daily driver also had the same
one and worked great (that one is now in a Linux server).

I have a work Thinkpad with a Crucial SSD in but it's had issues. The first
time it was probably Lenovo's fault, the second time it was likely the
laptop's previous owner or Lenovo. The SSD seems to still work okay as far
as I can see.

My experience tells me go with Intel, but YMMV.
