I recently built a new rig with 3 Patriot Warp 64 gig SSDs in RAID 0. I was happy with the performance, so I stole one of them to use in my work laptop. It was a horrible experience. It had aggravating stutters the time. But it booted a lot quicker so I knew there was potential there.

I just got in a 60 gig Vertex. I updated the firmware to 1275, copied over the work drive, and what an amazing difference. It is quick and responsive. Hell, even Lotus Notes is almost tolerable to use.

OCZ really seems to be making an effort to be a player in the value SSD market.

I am moving the Warp back into the RAID array. They seem to play nice over there.

Welcome to the Vertex club DonDon! Lovin' mine! Bout to order more of 'em.
 
Still loving my vertexs/solids, but still wishing I could afford the intels (along with many other things *shrug*). Welcome to the SSD club DonDon.

And lotus only ever works well on someone else's computer in my experience.

I said Notes was ALMOST tolerable. I still hate every second I have to spend using it, but at least it doesn't make me wait as much now to annoy me.

Oh, I've been using SSD's already. This is just the first SINGLE SSD I am using. On my older system I have 4 X 30 gig OCZ Solids plugged into a Perc 5i. On my newer system, I have 2, soon to be 3 64 gig Patriot Warps running off of an ICH10 matrix controller.

The single Vertex seems positively slow, but it's a lot faster than the magnetic drive it replaced.
