Three weeks ago I built my new PC. I have been having constant BSODs and have just isolated the problem down to my OCZ Agility 3. This has caused me hours and hours of lost productivity and I'm not at all happy. The whole point of buying a new system was to become more productive and not be waiting for my PC to do stuff. Grrr...

Anyway, I intend to phone overclockers today and return the OCZ under RMA, but I don't want another one. Which brand should I go for? I'm looking for reliability and a size of 120 GB. Here's my OCZ Agility 3 benchmark score (when it actually boots up): http://postimage.org/image/1sa4gockk/

This means I have to rebuild my PC again from scratch, download updates over my crappy rural broadband, reinstall my apps, etc. I'm so annoyed.
 
Just spoke to the nice overclockers chap on the phone, I must say very pleasant to deal with, knowledgeable and helpful. I am returning the OCZ for a full refund and he recommended to me the Intel over the Crucial. The Intel SSDs have the lowest return rate of all the drives. I think I will order that.

Intel are a good choice too. While the Intel is slightly more reliable the Crucial is slightly faster and cheaper. It's up to you really, you can't go wrong with either of them but since it's maximum reliability you seem to be after, go for the Intel :).
 
Just thought I'd let you know that since installing the Intel SSD, not a single BSOD. It's been 6 days now.... (fingers crossed)
