I bought this drive off of the market here on Amazon. It was a steal so when it arrived DOA I was disappointed but figured I'd just have to trade the money I saved for some of my time. It looks like OCZ had an unfortunate run of firmware when this drive came out, until 1.10 it seems there was a bug that caused low power modes to put the drives into panic mode which, to an end user, means a dead drive. Fortunately it seems I got my drive at just the right time. Firmware 1.10 seems to have addressed the low power mode bugs and even better firmware 1.11 is out now and it looks like the only changes are SMART monitoring fixes and other non-reliability issues.

I was impressed at how smoothly OCZ's RMA process went. They didn't question if I was the original purchaser. They didn't ask what I did to break it. They just shipped a replacement drive the day they received mine.

The speeds are incredible, as expected.

Bought this drive and an OCZ Technology 60 GB Agility Series. The Agility 60GB has worked flawlessly, the 200 GB Vertex Limited Edition on is useless the first one was DOA the replacement lasted less then 15 days now it also is dead. I will see if I can get it to work but so far it is not looking good. I'm not a newbie ether, been building and repairing computers since the early 80's. Time to look elsewhere for a replacement.
