having just gone thru OCZ Vertex 3 120 gb for $69.99 AR at Newegg/Tigerdirect/Amazon, this doesn't seem like such a hot deal. Now that Vertex 4 is out, I'm sure we will see a lot more deals on Vertex 3.

so many negative reviews about drive breaking after months of use.

 

[kingkung]

i don't see the rebate anywhere?

 

[Coldkilla]

I got all the way to the checkout and then read the first 15 reviews... wow OCZ has a bad rep. Hopefully there will be a sub $95 120gb for sale by a reputable company in the next few days... I REALLY need one.

The only experience I've had with OCZ was my 240GB Agility 3 dying on me after about 6 weeks of use.

RMA'd it and it took a little more than 2 weeks but I did get a brand new replacement.

I wouldn't use one as a boot drive but I'm really tempted to grab one just for keeping games on. Those can always be re-installed.

I've owned three OCZ SSDs, and they've all done well.

I didn't either earlier. Its up now though.

I'm waiting for another Samsung 830 deal

interesting suggestion. never thought of that.

If OCZ is really serious on getting rid of these SSD's it should at least priced them aggressively without MIR! I mean Samsung went with the 830's for $90 on their 128GB without MIR! Now that's a real deal.

Yea, just to clarify, I already have an M4 for boot drive. If you have a proven SSD for your boot drive, I wouldn't see a problem gambling your easily replaceable data on a budget SSD.

You're not kidding. I probably would have already grabbed 2!

On the otherhand, today MC is offering the OCZ Vertex 4 128GB for $100. I wonder if this is far better than their predecessor?

The Agility 4 128GB is $100.00 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0393061
Vertex 4 is 128GB is $120 http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0387745

After rebate is not a deal because you are taking a chance. I just got stiffed by Sapphire on a rebate. Apparently Amazon's web invoice is not sufficient proof of purchase. I got rejected because I didn't send in the "packing slip". Yes, the packing slip, the one that clearly says this is not a receipt of purchase. Asswipes!

 

[formulav8]

You should definitely keep bugging them until they send it. Proof of purchase would be the Amazon invoice not a packing slip.

I had 8 of these Agility 3 drives and of the 8, 3 have already died (1 from my RAID config this morning).
