The second gen unit has been very reliable, and the video quality is night and day better than first gen. Although there can be a little lag of about 10 seconds or so from when the doorbell is rang till it rings on my phone.
Most things I encounter in personal use are either CPU or GPU bound. There is nothing worse than having an application crawl to a halt when it is not even using a fraction of your system resources. Single threaded and 32 bit only applications are the bane of my existence.
I use SSDs in all my builds, servers and workstations. My most used are Samsung 850 EVOs and PROs, follow by the Intel 750 and Samsung 950 PRO.
Out of bout 80 or so that I've put into production over the past few years I've had about 3 850 EVOs go bad on me, just completely lock up the machine they are connected to, can't even run diag. I make sure to use the PRO series in critical environments, and EVO for budget.
