Probably get tons of these topics but I'm eager to buy after just getting my pay packet. Basicall,y I placed an order for an OCZ Agility 3 but read that there may be better options? Currently I have these 3 down;

Only really looking at around 60GB, I want to use it as an OS drive with some apps that I use often on there too. Just as a note, the motherboard I'm using is a P7P55D, are there any specific sata ports I should use?

Thanks in advance!

the OCZ A3 is a great choice. Try to use the 6 Gb/s ports if you can

What are these problems people have been having with the A3s?

There are some issues regarding the Sandforce controller these drives use.

Corsair for example are recalling all their drives (although theirs are reference designed, OCZ arent).

If I were you, I'd read more into it and hold off to see how it all pans out for the remainder of the month at least.

Some reports are the the OCZ drives are fairly stable, but people are experiencing issues so bear that in mind also.
