Right now I have an original OCZ Vertex 120GB, which while it has shown me the light in respect to SSD speed, it's reliability has been utter crap. I've already had to RMA it twice in 18 months, so it's time for a change -- and that change will likely be to use Intel G2 which I have read are the most reliable drives.
However, I've read here on AT that the current crop of SSDs are about to be replaced by a new generation that claim massive performance improvements at least in sequential read/write.
However, I only have a 3Gbps SATA with its theoretical 300MB/s limit (and likely significantly below that in practice), so the sequential read/write claimed by these new drives is pointless to me until I upgrade (which won't be for a couple years yet at which point I'd probably upgrade the SSD again anyway).
So, given that and the reality that random I/O is the more important performance metric for my purposes (gaming, productivity), is there any good reason to wait for the new drives. If so, any realistic idea of when they will be available?
