I use my OCZ to keep my life support system OS up and running. So far no problems, just putting that out there for you all to consider.

Considering the 830 just went for $70 with no rebate, I wouldn't even bother paying more than $40 for something like this.

I paid $279.99 for this drive when it first came to market. Never had an issue myself.

Their failure rates are lower on the other models historically. Still means the failure rate on this drive is in the low single digits, but it is still up.

Vertex 3 is pretty mature at this point so I would not worry too much about it failing.
OCZ puts a 3 year warranty on their products, but for SSDs I would look at reliability reviews.

When you buy it they typically do have the latest available firmware installed. But they might have updated since you bought it. The latest is 2.25 and was released Oct 8th.

If the SSD is used as a cache drive for Intel Smart Response (Z68/Z77) it doesn't really matter if the drive dies.
