The reliability problems with the Vertex 2 make me wary of anything from OCZ. There are many, many reports of OCZ drives failing within a few days of use, some within minutes of booting up. Plus there are well-documented problems with power-saving modes.

Frankly, SSD failure rates from most manufacturers are so high it should be a scandal. Intel is the only company I'm remotely comfortable buying an SSD from right now.

That explains why my server OCZ Vertex SSD died yesterday after 1 year of use... I'm eyeing a Corsair now but still kind of weary of SSDs now.
