First of all, i would like to say hello to all as i'm a new member.

Now, down to the questions!

I currently have a 80GB Intel X25M Mainstream SSD and am very pleased with it. I have had it a little over 4months now and performance is still top notch but i come across another SSD today for £180 and is made by OCZ and the write speed is a lot more than my current. I paid £200 for mine when i got it and this OCZ is cheaper and faster but my question is, is OCZ actually any good and is the OCZ one faster than my current Intel one?

OCZ Vertex 2E SSD:

Any advice will be deeply appreciated. :)

I use anandtech for benchmarks and comparisons which does include hard drives.

using that it looks as though the OCZ is better in nearly every benchmark.
