First of all, there are two of these drives, pc version and mac version:

According to Anand from Anandtech (whos fairly sharp): "At least now we have two options to choose from: the X25-M and the Vertex." -therefore I have a real itching for the cheap Vertex as I suppose others do...

Also note: this drive works fine in a Mac Pro (which doesn't sleep):

The Mac version I'll assume works flawlessly with all macs. The PC version is cheaper though. I'm wondering if the PC version with latest OCZ firmware will work with new and old macbooks/mbp's. New mbp's recently had a sata firmware update on June22, which is reported in some cases to cause sleep issues with SSDs that were not present before...:

Sooo, hoping to call on all OSX (and boot camp) SSD beta testers who could let us know what has or hasn't worked for them... Please specify which OCZ / Intel firmware you've used, thanks
