    128 gig Crucial M4 x2 in raid 0 in Azza, 120 gig OCZ Agility 3 in AMD rig. Agility 3 is fast actual benchmark 436 read, 385 write and has proven to be very reliable. Crucial M4 is only a little faster in raid configuration but supposed to be rock solid in reliability.

              We have over 20 desktops/laptops/iMacs etc in the office and then a handful of servers for rendering etc in a back room. Not all but a lot of them have been upgraded to SSD's at least as boot drives and out of the brands we have used in the office I have only had failures with OCZ drives so far. The Kingstons and Corsairs I have bought have yet to fail once, but I have had 3 OCZ drives do full out disk failures where they are not even visible to a computer anymore.

              Actually just had an OCZ drive i tossed this morning that died in a Macbook.

                  ocz revodrive3 240gb
                  although ocz is a pretty unreliable brand of ssd they were the only ones that made a pci-e interface ssd, but now i heard that mushkin is coming out with some of they're own so i might upgrade if the performance is a big upgrade.

                    I have 3 machines with Kingston Now Sata2 SSD's as boot disks.
                    1 with a Kingston HyperX(Blue Dragon)
                    1 with Intel 320.

                    I wasa using ocz vertex 2 in 3 of my machines but 1 of them always gave me BSOD in Win 7 so I've taken it out and moved the other two to seconardy drives.

                          Blazing fast, does that mean they run hot ?
