<standard OCZ reliability complaint>

The Warrenty is 5 years and many people say you'll need it as they have had bad results with OCZ SSDs. I've never had a problem but I'm just as anecdotal as they are and a smaller sample size.

The 2's and earlier were awful. The 3's and after are fine.

so as of today are these drives failing or is the problem fixed? and if the problem is fixed why is a samsung 840 pro 512 $600, and this is half?

With the warranty in mind, this is a win/win situation. This is a damn good deal for a solid drive. Nothing like intel or samsung, but it'll hold it's own.

Only if the company is still around in 2 years. Look at their stock price and the SEC investigation.

Be Aware: This is the version with the cheaper NAND. (.M model number)

I can't remember the exact difference between the two at the moment, but there was something on Anandtech at some point about it.

I would like more information on this if you can please find it again that would be much appreciated.
