There are brands of SSD that I will not have in our datacenter (medium scale, several thousand machines). Kingston and OCZ are the ones that I kill on sight. I found some new-in-box drives in a corner a week or two ago, and threw them away. They&#x27;re poison.<p>For developer workstations, we get good results from Samsung drives. We run Intel enterprise class drives in servers and they&#x27;re fine, don&#x27;t even have to think about them.<p>We&#x27;ve pretty much stopped buying spinning drives, with a few exceptions where we need lots of capacity and don&#x27;t care about performance.
