It depends, just like any other brand. There are pieces meant for consumers, pieces meant for enthusiasts, cheap stuff, expensive stuff, etc. etc.

It would help if you told us the specific parts you're evaluating for example, as for reliability, I'd say Crucial being a name brand has been pretty good. I've had good experiences with Kingston (the HyperX sub-brand though), Samsung, Corsair also, it really depends on the particular part you get.

For example, a Samsung 850 (or was it the 840?) Evo SATA SSD with a specific firmware would be converted into a nicely shaped rock / paper weight if you issued a secure erase command through the BIOS of certain systems. Does that mean the drive is unreliable? Hell no, it was a specific firmware of the drive together with a specific firmware revision of the machine, the drive itself was top notch.

Also, it depends on what your intentions for the upgrade are, if you require top of the line parts or you're good with value stuff. Generally top of the line carry longer warranty periods and are therefore tend to be more reliable.

But what were you considering to buy? It may very well be suitable for you, not everyone needs enthusiast grade stuff. Just don't go buying things from unknown brands if you want reliability. Not saying that they aren't, the very well could be, but brand-name pieces generally undergo more testing.
