sequential speed remains near the limit of SATA 6 Gbps at 550 MBps and 530 MBps sequential read/write.

I'd say that should be MB/s otherwise that is one slow SSD

I see what you're saying but I think you're wrong in your interpretation. Just because there is a 'p' doesn't mean MBps == Mbps... It's the capitalization of the B that makes the difference, the p is just short-hand for 'per' as in 'per second'.. and if we really want to be splitting hairs, I would like to know if these numbers are MB per second or MiB per second...

Megabytes per second (MBps). As per most of the storage world (at least the marketing side) they are using MBps instead of MiBps (MiB/s). MiB is not widely used, unfortunately, so we stick with the most popular (and thus recognizable) unit.

Wouldn't buy anything from OCZ - or anything marked OCZ - I have a pile of failed OCZ products with "lifetime warranties" and no means of collecting any compensation under the warranty.

exactly they don't honor their warranty. My pc couldn't make it overnight without a BSOD and it was always crashing stuttering and would freeze for many seconds at a time loading stuff. Finally wouldn't even show up in the bios. Sent it back and they returned it to me as in perfect condition no problem found. Just got a Evo 850 pro and my pc is stable as a rock.

I installed a 240gb vector 150 in a machine several months ago and it's been solid as a rock too. Normally I wouldn't have bothered but the vector series with the new toshiba nand is a pretty good drive. If the prices come down I might consider one of these vector 180's. Hard to beat when I got the 150 on sale for $60 for 240gb.

OCZ was bought out by Toshiba so don't go by products before that.

Having said that I'll stick with Samsung unless some other company can significantly undercut their prices or prove more reliable.
