Installing some new hardware over the weekend. New mobo supports Sata 3. Should I load windows on my Corsair Force 3 240gb drive, or stick with my current Vertex 2 120gb for OS duties? The drive without the OS will be used for general programs, which makes the larger Force 3 more appealing as I like to keep my programs isolated from my OS.

My Vertex 2 has been rock solid reliable over the last year, giving me no issues whatsoever. The Force 3, with all the horror stories, has me nervous. ATTO has the Vertex 2 being faster in my current rig, but its limited to Sata 2 speeds...I'd imagine the Force 3 will stretch its legs on a Sata 3 board.


Any opinions?
 
I can contest that the Force 3 is a good drive. A lot better than some SSDs I have had and it has trash dumping for raid if you choose that later on. 550ish read / 490 write is fast in my book.
