Except OCZ customer service is the worst of the worst. Friends don't let friends buy OCZ.

And their firmware sucks (so i hear) i think its at its 24th release, trying to resolve BSOD issues - not sure its directly related to this specific SSD but makes you hesitate a bit...

A long time ago I purchase a vertex 2 120gb when it went on sale for $170 after MIR (awesome deal back when). Anyways my rebate showed up ~1 year later. So not my favorite company, but they make decent SSDs
