I've burned through three Vertex 1's where the third was replaced at my request during RMA with a Vertex 2 (that was nice of them at least).
The first was when my current system was new two years ago. I was never able to get it working.
The second lasted a year and a half before it started corrupting files before finally dying.
The third lasted almost two whole weeks before I received a BSOD while gaming and a no longer detected SSD.
All three of these requires some form of CMOS reset/firmware fiddling to get running initially.
At least the Vertex 2 seems fine so far. But overall, I'm not too impressed with OCZ. I'll give them credit for replacing the drives without much fuss, but the last two RMAs took around 2 weeks to receive the replacement. Which is a huge pain in the ass when it's your OS drive in your rig.
