[citation][nom]cold fire[/nom]I have a 240GB OCZ Agility 3 that I bought about 4 months ago for $220 and haven't experienced any problems with it. I back up my data frequentaly so that's not really an issue for me even if one day it decides to commit suicide. With SSD prices nowadays, there's no excuse for not having one, especially for a desktop computer.[/citation]
You may not have had a issue, and I am happy for you on that. But that still does not dismiss the failure rates that are reported with OCZ's SSD's. While you made out fine, many others have not.

I can't help but wonder if the criticizers of the Vertex 3 have ever owned one or know someone who owns one. I've been using my Vertex 3 almost 8 months now and have had no issues at all with it...
I do not personally own one, however had friend who ordered 4 of them and as you can imagine 4 is quite costly all together. Only two of them are the originals as I am typing this. So far he had a 50% failure rate, now I don't think we are looking at a average of 50% failure rate across the board. But it goes to show there is certainly a issue.
I'm not the type to say "I told you so" but I also advised him to go with another brand before hand.
If someone here wishes to buy from this deal feel free and I do wish you the best.
