vertex 2e, for the win
what are peoples thoughts on the g.skill phoenix pro 60gb as this seems to again be identical specs to the vertex and the force but is available for just over £110 from aria not including delivery.
You're right it looks to be identical with the same sf1200 controller. Personally I'd stick with the OCZ for the support/firmware alone, plus it's now under £120 on e-buyer (plus free, if slow, delivery).
i swear someone is trying to make the decision more complicated! ebuyer now have the corsair force for £110 delivered. just a case of whether its worth taking the risk if it goes faultyOriginally Posted by marktime
Don't forget you can email TheManWhoCan to request a deal.

emailed! hopefully something magical will happen!
As a relative novice, I have been surfing a number of forums for a while and came to the conclusion that the 120GB OCZ Vertex II was the way forward Got mine from SCAN as their after-sale service is great. With more enthusiasm than know-how, I struggled to clone my OS from the 1TB HDD to the new drive, but got there in the end. Will need to resolve some tech issues with you guys who know far more than me. My SSD now holds Win 7 h.p. 64bit and M$ FSX - plus a couple of other smallerr apps = 50%. FSX seems to have a few stutters at the moment, but - with help from the community - I hope to get that sorted.
Does this help at all?
When I run Crystal disk info it gives my OCZ a 98% health status. Anyone else got a similar result ?
I'll have a look now:

TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I've vowed not to do any benching/health checking on my SSD unless it is noticeably running more slowly or showing problems to avoid the paranoia that I know would eat away at me if I thought it wasn't completely perfect.
This is the results I got.
i actually went for the corsair f100 from scan, had it on special via scanshot for £110. just need to decide whether it goes in the desktop or my laptop now!
Gotta be Desktop!Well, Do keep us posted on it.
I almost bought a 60GB Reactor until someone warned me about the problems people had with them.
1.3TB of writing - those poor NAND blocks

thats what is worrying me a little bit actually but from what i've read it seems to be completely random in the problems nature (certain combinations of hardware i think). just now need to decide on the best way to get my current windows installation on it or to start completely from scratchGotta be Desktop!

I tried the lazy way of just cloning my original drive to it and it got the drive misaligned. Best to start with a fresh install I think.
