Good luck with your OCZ replacement.  They've had a bad string of quality issues with both the Vertex and Agility series drives -- I had a friend who bought a 240GB Vertex, and it went bad 3 times ... and another friend with a 120GB Agility that failed in about 2 months.    As I help both of them whenever they have issues, I got a good first-hand look at OCZ's support .. and was NOT impressed.    Be prepared for it to take 2-3 weeks to get your replacement.

 

FWIW, both of my friends just tossed their OCZ drives and bought nice new Intel 335 series units.

I agree with this assessment of OCZ for SSDs.  I will only buy Intel, Samsung or Crucial SSDs.  They are proven reliable; with other brands, IMHO, you may or may not get a good one.  Certainly others, based on their experience, may swear by other brands.  I have never had a problem (nor do I know anyone who has) with the three brands mentioned.

Never bought a Samsung, but nice to know its on the "good guys" list.  A few years ago I really like OCZ, but had a very bad string of issues with those, so now buy ONLY Intel and Crucial units ... like you, I've had ZERO issues with either of them.
