Once again, I have had yet another bad experience with my SSD's.
I have 2 OCZ Vertex Turbo's and they have given me many issues over the years. A few months ago, I want to say around late March, I solved an issue I was having and was back in business with my computer.
Today in the morning, I was able to boot up my computer fine, but after leaving for classes at 830am and returning around 4pm, I realized my computer did not turn on anymore. The OS SSD was not detected and I tryed to do a few of the "fixes" I have attempted in the past. Nothing worked.
So now Im about to make a big decision and I want some advice on how I should go about it.
I need to get my computer back up and running by thursday morning. I came up with a few ideas on what I may do:
I have a 320gb HDD that was being used as a backup drive that I was not really using atm.
Also have the 2 SSDs, the OS one is not being detected and the other one is fine and I can use it.
I need to use one of these 3 for a temporary OS install while I get new drives.
The part that I want to get some help/advice on is my decision on what to do next:
I plan to buy a 750gb or a 1TB WD caviar black HDD to replace the 320gb backup drive. I would change my current 750gb data drive into the backup and move all data from it as a copy onto the new 750 or 1TB drive. This is why I am considering on using the 320gb as a OS drive.
I need to also decide on this, The big decision. Give up on SSDs and go back to HDD OS drives or take another chance and go with a new SSD (looking into an Intel SSD since I have given up on OCZ as a whole).
I want reliability! I hate having to constantly go into a OS corruption and have to reinstall every couple months or less. My brother has been on his HDD for years now. I only had 1 HDD issue ever and it was because I was an idiot and defraged a drive that I had never defraged before and it was many years old.
Is it worth it to go back to HDDs and let SSDs progress more or should I give SSDs another chance and get an Intel drive? (was looking at the 510 but i hear issues with it)
On a side note: I seen and heard so many issues with OCZ SSDs that I am VERY hesitant to even consider buying an SSD from them before, along with my OCZ SSDs giving me SO MANY issues.
Anyways, Long rant and I hope you guys can hopefully give me some good advice so I can make a decision that I will not regret.

) and also gave us nice bonus with last firmware. Now you can count sequential read transfers at about 530-550MB/s for all M4 series.
