SSDs

I'll be getting a Patriot Inferno SSD. What you'll notice are the little things - explorer loads virtually instantly and everything feels smoother.

I have two of the Vertex 2, 120GB and they are sweet. I put the Corsair Force 120 in the wifes system and she is tickled to death with its performance. I slapped a Kingston VNow 64GB in my netbook and it really made a difference there.

I have only had one SSD take a crap on me and that was one of the original Vertex 128GB with the indlilnix controller and I swear by the OCZ support. I requested an RMA and the next day they emailed me the RMA number and shipping directions; sent the drive in and 4 days later got the email saying they are replacing the drive. 5 days later a brand new drive arrived at my front door which was shipped from Tiawan.

For that reason alone I will stick with OCZ for SSDs and go with their SandForce controlled drives only.

barely containing my excitement, i've just ordered a 60 gig ocz vertex 2e - should be arriving tomorrow!

i was looking at the intel x-25v, but 40 gigs just seemed way too small for my gaming needs - the ocz was only £20 more expensive, for 20 more gigs.

couldn't quite stretch to the 80 gig intel - that was £45 more than the ocz, for those extra 20 gigs.
