I'm not sure if you are into cars much be the OCZ Vertex 3 is comparable to a new Ferarri. Its wickedly fast, looks damn sexy and will occasionally burst into flames.
You sound more like the Toyota Camry kind of guy. He wants a car that just barely cool enough to appeal to the mass market. It will also never breakdown or catch on fire.
These drives are using cutting edge technology. Stuff that even Intel and the other industry giants like Samsung can't even come close to matching performance wise, much less beating. Are there going to be some problems along the way? ya, sometimes. So, if thats not your thing, no sweat. Just don't complain here and expect a lot of sympathy from me. You installed it in a 4 year old computer, not me. Why would OCZ prep the world's fastest SSD for a computer that can't come close to handling it? Makes *no* sense to me.
Anyway, I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers. You seem like the kind of guy who can handle an honest answer, even when its not one you like. So, thats my point of view on the Vertex line. I love'em but its cool if you don't. Honestly, you will probably be a lot happier with Intel if you are looking for that level of support. Just don't expect the them to match OCZ's performance for a little while yet.
