I needed an SSD drive quite urgently (long story), so I decided to buy the one in subject (120GB) based on some research on line, and use it to upgrade my Intel x25-m 80GB system disk; and, move the x25-m to another machine.

Upgrade from Intel to OCZ was seamless and took just 10 minutes (after a year of daily usage, I am still amazed at SSD performances), and now I am also using the mb SATA3 controller. So all seems good (crossing fingers).

Still, now that I have some more time, I'd like to get some opinions from you guys on the Vertex 3. What do you think? I hope this is as a good unit as it would seem from some superficial research on line.

If you had to buy a SATA3 SSD today, in the range of 120/160GB, what would your ideal choice be?
