Paid for Saturday delivery. Unlike the overclocked bundle which actually arrived the next Friday I will get this on Saturday \o/

Do you think you really needed it? SSDs aren't cheap:P.

afaik yes, OCZ drives are TRIM compatible.

The bugs are fixed, the price won't be coming down for a while.

Haven't you seen his other threads? His friend Terry Ism stole a load of money so now he's blowing it all on the most expensive stuff he can find! Fair play to him, I'd do exactly the same :p

They lie when they said it is TRIM compatible. While it does accept the TRIM command it does nothing at all. Found this out when I got a OCZ SSD for someone I was building a computer for a few weeks ago >.>

Is the small bug where they slowly get slower with age still a problem? It's the one thing that's always worried me. They apparently die faster than a HDD. I'd probably never use a SSD in the near future, I fail to see their purpose for home and in some cases, business use :P They're for the people in need of SPEED :D

Yes, but features such as the TRIM command allow you to maintain performance as though they were brand spanking new.

Once you use a computer with a SSD drive you notice the diffrence. When I was setting stuff up on that computer with a SSD drive the speed amazed me and when I got back to my none-SSD computer I realised how much faster a SSD is.
