Newegg is having a sale on a 120gig OCZ Vertex SSD and I am in need since my little 40gig is filling up quickly. Does OCZ make a good, reliable SSD?

Not particularly.

Make absolutely sure you don't get a Vertex, when a Vertex 2 is only $32 more and has like literately 10 times better small file performance and is a lot more reliable than the older Vertex.

Vertex is still using the old SSD controller, while the 2 uses the significantly faster Sandforce Controller. Sandforce ftw!

Sounds like the Vertex 2 is the way to go. Too bad those aren't on sale at new egg Sad

How does a Vertex 2 compare to an Intel?

Vertex 2 120GB for $213 after rebate from Newegg.

A bit worse in most regards, though slightly faster write speeds. And currently, a better GB/$ price.
