I will only be buying a SSD with built in encryption. Intel has already shown they do not respect privacy rights by building in serial numbers in their CPU's. So I expect they have put a backdoor in the encryption of their hard drives so the government can read them without getting a search warrant. Notice this is legal hackers know the government can read their hard drives so we have no expectation of privacy.

I imagine the correct answer is supposed to be Intel. But honestly I'm looking at OCZ for price/performance.
2. What do you look for when selecting an SSD?
Ummm, I guess I answered that above ... Price, Performance
There is no "correct answer" - there is only your answer. The poll is just asking your preference. You have an equal chance of winning the contest no matter what your brand preference.

You may be interested in an SSD with a SandForce controller, then (OCZ, OWC, Corsair, Patriot, newer Kingston, etc.). All data is encrypted in transit.

1. Crucial
2. Price (I'm on a tight budget and these things cost an arm and a freaking leg), reliability and brand.

My choice was always Kingston, they never fail for me, but were flexible enough to work with additional from other brands.

1. I like Intel, Kingston, OCZ, Crucial, and Samsung. They've worked well fro me in the past

2. Best combination of capacity, performance and price. Pretty much what everyone else is saying.

1. Intel

2. Brand then price then performance

I choose brand over performance. There are not that many NAND flash manufacturers (Toshiba, Samsung, Micron are likely the biggest) and they all have similar specifications. Therefore I choose brand to get consistent performance across multiple hard drives. Companies like Intel will integrate either their own memory or that of the bigger manufacturers and come out with a consistent product over multiple years. Interestingly enough, learders in the flash memory market change (or drop out) every 10 years or so, depending on who leads with the new technology initiatives.

Seagate does make an SSD, although it's primarily marketed for enterprise users. To the best of my knowledge, Hitachi does not make SSDs.

1. Intel
2. Mainly price and reliability... I assume most ssds would perform well enough for my needs (gaming mainly)

1.Which brand SSD are you considering for your next upgrade? Intel, OCZ, Crucial, Kingston, Patriot Memory, Samsung, or other?

I'd probably go for the OCZ brands, as they've been known to put out some good drives for gaming.

2.What do you look for when selecting an SSD? Price, Performance, Brand - or a combination of these elements?

Price, and then performance. As a father, I have to make sure I'm not spending a lot, but of course I want the best performance possible.

1) Intel or OCZ - brand reliability is very important to me.

2) Performance - I am willing to pay more for reliable performance (long warranties are a plus too!)

1- The cheapest priced with the best review gets my money, no brand loyalty here.
2- A combination of price and performance reviews.
