My OWC is a SATAII so its not completely an apples to apples comparison. My OWC has served me will with no problems. Someone posted a AJA benchmark for their OWC 6G and it was essentially identical to my Force 3. If you want to save the money you should be completely happy with the Force 3 Its not the fastest out there, but @ its price point its kind of hard to argue against.
Got a tip for us?

Yep, pretty much the same as yours and comparable to other Sandforce SATA III drives.
I could not find the rebate on their site. Would you have a copy of it or a direct link. BTW I just ordered this morning (they were in stock for a short period) and then went to newegg online chat and said I had a coupon code and they honored it... pretty sweet!
Corsair Force Series 3 is more expensive than Vertex 3?????
Where are you buying from, Scan.co.uk is cheaper
That sounds about right. 11 Hours would have been insane. I never have my screen brightness below full, and while lisetning to music I get about 6hrs
I think it's time for everyone that ordered the Corsair Force 3 120GB to ship it back for replacement. They're doing a recall.
"We have stopped shipments of the affected drive, Corsair part number CSSD-F120GB3-BK, effective immediately and have implemented the following remediation plan:
(1) ALL users should cease using the CSSD-F120GBG3-BK drive immediately, even if you have not experienced issues of stability. "

aaaaaand that's why I recommend Intel SSD.
Quality and reliability are second to none. No, they're not the absolute fastest, but they're still extremely fast...and you're less likely to have to deal with incompatibilities and recalls.

My drive works fine. I AM SO PISSED RIGHT NOW.
They better advance-RMA this or I will flip ***** on their customer service manager.

I'm on the phone with them now. On hold actually. I got my RMA number but dang it I don't wanna be laptop-less for 5 days. I already sold my original SSD so I can't move back to that.
The guy on the phone just told me they DON'T do advanced RMA. Gonna call and get someone less dumb.
Got a smart guy, and asked for us to call Tuesday as the drives won't be available till then, so they don't have a part number to set up in the system.
