    Good price but hate the company. The first series were horrible and often faulty. To top it off they faked feedbacks on price comparison sites

  • OCZ's "brand name" was tarnished due to their earlier SSD products. How does this one compare?

    • even they has been bought over, but if still the same management then probably same shit

  • OCZ is now Toshiba's retail SSD brand :)

    so it should be Toshiba quality and wont pull tricks like the OLD OCZ does

  • I bought 3 of their originals at about $2k, all different models, all eventually went back for warranty. I'll never touch OCZ again. One of them kept "disconnecting" itself, a 256GB I paid $1200 for, all of a sudden I'd start getting programs crashing as they could no longer access the SSD.

      Ahh that just brought back a memory. One of my OCZ's used to disconnect itself too. It was my OS drive so you imagine how fun that was. I owned 2 and both were RMA'd. 1 i eventually swapped for a Corsair and still have it in my computer today, the other died and I just threw it in the bin.

      100% failure rate with OCZ for me. 0% failure rate with Corsair and Samsung (owned a few of each).

      OCZ must surely be better now, they certainly are fast. I'd be waiting for RMA data to come through before buying one though.

      • they are owned by toshiba now

        so assuming they use toshiba ssd hardware, which is reliable enough for apple
        Then im hoping its better

        So you get Toshiba quality plus the lower pricing of OCZ due to its tarnished brand? =)

        • True, but I understood Toshiba brought all the guys from OCZ over. I must admit I haven't followed things nor really comprehend what's being used in the drives today. You're probably right. I'd normally give them another chance but I'm just too happy with my Samsung 840 Pro, i'd be hard pressed buying any other brand now it's been that good (almost 2yrs old now).

      • Mine was my program's drive, so it killed any chance of saving when it happened. My main OS and Games drives were also OCZ SSD's but they simply died, the games one instantly and the OS one over a couple of months. When replacing under RMA I got to switch to the new larger drives and also got Samsung 840 Pro's - bless PCCG, they rock.

          Funny that, I ended up forking out for a Samsung 840 Pro (from PCCG also) and it's been absolutely amazing, unlike the earlier gen SSD's (all brands, not just OCZ) these things don't slow down, well mine hasn't.

        • @Click_It: Great minds my friend, great minds :)

    My OCZ Vertex 128GB has run faultlessly for about three years now. I must have been lucky.

    • Extremely lucky.
