I can say I was completely put off by the OCZ Vertex II... I went through 2 of them (one was a warranty replacement) and then my third drive was a Corsair Force 3 that also failed miserably after a short amount of time. This was a few years back and I've not had an SSD since, but now i'm thinking about adding a small SSD to use for caching alongside my 2TB mechanical drive.
I know SSD's are miles better these days and I think i'm ready to give them another go, especially now they don't cost as much
