Personally I use a Crucial SSD. The OCZ one may work for you; the thread was to raise awareness regarding their issues. Hopefully there won't be any issues with your purchase.Ok I've read the other thread Jmtyra, what other choices are there than OCZ tho? I dont see anyone else bringing out anything like these speeds for a grabable price.
OCZ were expecting 14,000 controllers and only recieved 3000 controllers for their whole worldwide allocation.
This means only 1/5th of the expected stock is available resulting in the UK only been allocated 90 of each drive, yes 90 for the whole of the UK
Well it seems OCZ have done a massive doozy again from what Ive read on another forum.

Can you believe it.

What does that have to do with controllers/yields? (upper management)
Things like this happen. Are they preventable? Maybe. Thing is nobody here knows that. Passing judgement having zero information on the logistics of this controller hiccup is premature at best IMHO.I see this as very unprofessional, the whole SSD industry is very cagey. High prices but very high failure rates. OCZ business skills, seem to fit in quite well with all this.
Saying all that, in 3 months my Vertex has not 1nce let me down & improved my experience on PC's 10 fold, specially with gaming even tho it cost an arm & a leg.
I refuse to go Intel as they are way over priced imo. Ill probably wait on Corsair's next generation.
I recently purchased a 2tb external WD Mybook USB 3.0 for back up & the speeds are pretty decent. Faster I am told than Sata 6gb's drives.

I dont understand your last comment about the Mybook. Mechanical HDD's are not limited by the SATA2 bandwidth in the first place, so moving it to SATA3 wouldnt really help except MAYBE in burst speed. Whoever told you that is straight off the mark.
