Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Sony Recievers = FAIL!
If you're talking about regular Sony receivers, then I'd agree.
But, these receivers are from Sony's Elevated Standard line. The ES line is excellent and they compared rather well with Denon, Onkyo (including their Integra line), Harman/Kardon, Pioneer ELITE, and Outlaw Audio.
And ES components are backed by a five year parts and labor warranty, which is one of the best in the industry.
Perhaps you should try ES gear yourself before you pass judgement.
