Intel are supposed to make the most reliable ones.
Citation?
A few years ago I read a review which simply counted RMA return percentages, finding OCZ to be pitiful, and Crucial to be 5 times more reliable.

A few months ago I searched for more tests when I got annoyed with my Crucial SSDs failing. I'm 99% sure this was the article I read about Intel being even better: http://www.extremetech.com/computing...e-manufacturer

Very limited subset of devices in your cited article.

Samsung provides a 5 year warranty on the EVO 850 and so far, we have had
EXCELLENT success with the several we have purchased. To date, the return on
investment has been excellent.

Just stay away from the TLC flash. If it says MLC or SLC, buy it.

The Samsung that had the 32 layer MLC stacked flash
was a keeper, but they've stopped making it as far
as I know. The remaining ones of that model at retail, have
elevated prices.

As for actual endurance, this article is fun. This page
contains the links to the followup articles (as the test
progresses).
