Any thoughts welcomed

My advice, avoid OCZ.

Thanks Brian, They seem to have a poor reputation. I believe that was from a couple of years ago and have now got a reliable product and increased their warranty to match their confidence?!!

I am getting one for my Windows desktop PC and will see how that goes. I will be buying a Samsung 840 series for the Mac as it currently stands.
