I've had rock solid experience with their memory over the years, unlike
several other manufacturers. This is my first drive from them, I hope it
will also be reliable for me.

Replacing 4.0 8820 with 4.0 8820, so should be good.

BestBuy had the drive, but no heatsyncs. Luckily the mobo came with a
heatsync, so I had a spare.

Samsung is my other default.

I'm running with luks and lvm, am considering adding a second drive to get
raid.
