Disclaimer: I am by no means a super techy person so take this for what its worth. OCZ doesn't have the greatest reviews and ratings when it comes to SSDs from what I've researched... That being said I ended up purchasing a 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 for a deal I couldn't pass up of ($69 shipped). It came shipped with the latest firmware and has worked flawless since the install (2 months). So far I couldn't be any happier with the performance and stability so far getting advertised speeds(knocks on wood). Good luck with your decision, SSDs are pretty amazing for boot times!
