Neil Stratton Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 One other thing I have noticed while researching SSD's for future purchase is the the OCZ line of series 3 disks are fraught with problems according to the reviews.Not sure what model you have but thought it worth mentioning. Also the motherboard is important when using the Datapath cards-check with them for compatibility. I'm sure there used to be a list of tested boards on the site but I cant find it now.

That's history.. For some time now (around late 2011), OCZ released a firmware update for the Sandforce Controller used in the series 3 disks which has solved all those problems mentioned in the reviews and forums. I have had the OCZ Aigitily 3 for about 6 months now, which has been faultless and trouble-free since I applied the firmware update.

rdkamperRDK Posted April 23, 2012 Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 I had OCZ SSD on my new computers (Nov 2011) one drive went out within four months. Firmware fix or not they have not gain my confidence. Moving to SSD by Intel ...they have the best ratings in most reviews; they may not be the fastest but they are the most reliable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
