OCZ 2.5" SATA III Internal Solid State Drives: 480GB Vertex 3 SSD $240, 240GB Agility 3 SSD $138, 256GB Agility 4 SSD $145 After Rebate & More + Free Shipping

Are these still something, OCZ brand wise, to stay away from?

Wouldn't trust OCZ with anything but a HTPC.

Good deal , 480BG for 240 is a new low.

yep they have taken a battering of late. I have had an Vertex 2 fail on me and with SSD there is no warning. It's just like a switch, boom it's gone.

i'm biting on it... hoping these at least last me through black friday when i'm hoping to pick up some more 'reliable' ssds and use these for back ups...

now to find a good back up system... any ideas?? is there any way to back up multiple computers on one separate drive?? really don't want to have like 3 different back up drives for 3 systems...

I've been waiting for a better deal on a 480-512 SSD for my notebook. I thought it was going to come in the form of the Agility and not the Vertex.

I've been using a 120GB Vertex 3 in my desktop as a boot drive for about a year. Looking forward to replacing the 500GB 5400 RPM drive that's in my notebook. That drive is the one thing I've always hated about my notebook.

My Amazon Chase got me another $6.61 off the price. Would have been more, but I cashed in a $50 CC reward I had. Good deal at $233 before using the $50 reward.

Vertex 4 without the SandForce controller is where the money is. The agilities and the Vertex 3 and below, not so much.

I've been using Acronis. Seems that it doesn't work for every system due to variables between systems. You will sometimes find it free after MIR here, so that would be the time to find out if it works with your system. You can have a system image saved to FTP or a networked drive.

How did your Amazon Chase credit card get you $6.61? Or is that the expected cash back from the purchase? I'm thinking about getting one since I also have rewards to use. I want to get in one more purchase before Amazon charges sales tax to CA.

That was the 3% rewards for using the Amazon Chase credit card. It would have been about $8.11 cash back if I did not use my rewards. Every little bit adds up.

Wow the $0.5/gig on the Vertex 3 480GB. Wonder if I should jump on this or wait it out for blackFriday?

ALso this is the last day to take advantage of the no Sale Tax for CA people

I think John89 from your previous post this morning should get some credit for pointing out the rebate. Just my 2 cents
