I just picked one up. I was running 4 60gb Vertex 3's in my gamer in RAID 0 and one just keeps droppping out. 3 times was 3 times to many. So i decided to just go with a single drive and i wanted space. So i picked up the 512. The thing rocks for a single drive and the supprt over at OCZ forums is awesome.

Some benchmarks.

Thx for sharing the info!
512 is beastly, how much it run u?

I'm considering one, but probably not that large for the gamer. Like you, I have about six smaller ssd's lying around but doubt their reliability run in RAID for an extended period of time. One thing that holds me back is I just don't know how long one of these will last.

The reason i went with the 512 besides space is that, like any drive once you get past 50-60% they start to slow down. Even more so with platter drives.

As far as life length....It will last long enough that when its too old to use, the technology will be so obsolete that you'll want something else anyway.

I've had trouble like yours with 60GB SSDs in RAID. A real PITA

Should probably sell the RAID card

Was trying to determine just how long would one last... would hate to invest $500 in a drive that was toast after 12 months.

I don't use my Raid card anymore. The intel Raid is better. Especially now that it has 6gb speeds. Only reason i bought a RAID card was for pc05 benching. I never used it for d my daily. One reason was the extremly slow load time.

@Rick...I am sure it would last alot longer than 12 months. How long will it last? I have really never looked into it. But this one has a 5 year warranty. I'll probably want something else by then. lol
