Reliability seems to be a problem. The one I bought for myself lasted a
few weeks. When it went, I decided I didn't want another, and replaced
it with a WD Caviar Black HDD - plenty fast anyway.

[SSD reliability]
My POE experimented with some of the early SSD models since they
significantly reduced the startup time for Windows. Unfortunately, at the
time the only more-or-less reasonably priced units were from OCZ and we
found that they had some nasty bugs, like going to sleep at odd times when
under load. We're currently using Samsung drives; other than a performance
problem due to a buggy firmware version (which I've discussed here in the
past) there haven't been any significant drive problems across ~12000
systems.
More recent OCZ models probably fixed the bug, but for a number of reasons
we don't buy them.
I still have a couple of old OCZ drives that I use to build quick POC
testbeds and don't have problems with them for that purpose...and I also
take one of them apart to show the high-school class I teach what the guts
of an SSD look like.

I've been using lots of WD Caviar Blacks for years and years without a
single failure yet. SSD failed on me within weeks.
I looked online and it seems many people have experienced failing SSDs.
They are fast, yes, but what's the point if the thing soon fails?
Of course my evidence is merely anecdotal, but nevertheless, WD works
well here.

Note to alt.windows7.general denizens: "Citronella®" is a kook of some
notoriety that has apparently suddenly decided to start bothering your
group. He has a kooky belief that half the people he meets are someone
from his past named "Paul" that he really, really hates, probably because
Paul owns all of the space inside Pie Gurl's tiny little cranium.
Also, he nymshifts. A lot. Sometimes he even runs multiple concurrent
sock-puppets in one group, holding conversations with himself.
Currently he's kooking out in various newsgroups as all of the following:

Wow. Nadegda wasn't kidding about the morphing, was he? Or the paranoia.
Self aggrandizing loon sock number two plonked. Anyone want to lay odds on

'Nadegda' is one sockpuppet of a notorious netkook named Paul G. Derbyshire
of Pembroke, Ontario. "Mr Fixit" is another. 'Kensi' is another. That
isn't all of them of couse; Derbyshire uses thousands of socks.
Mr Derbyshire is a nym-shifting serial abuser of the net who forges and frogs
other posters, and is known for forging the working address of a blind man.
The idiot thinks he and his sockpuppets are the 4 FNVWs of alt.usenet.kooks;
in reality however, Derbyshire's net abuse and kookey is well recognised
and his only supporters are his own socks - and the FNVW of AUK is currently
Gary Burnore and no one else.
Derbyshire likes to abuse free newsservers such as Mixmin and aioe.org
which don't have accounts, while the admin of Eternal-September doesn't
care about his abuse as long as Derbyshire doesn't nym shift on his server.
Albasani.net however has nuked Derbyshire's accounts for forgery and abuse.
Ignoring Derbyshire in a non-flame group can be tireseome, as the kook will
frog and forge the group's regular posters. So checks ought to be made of
message headers if a regular seems to post something out of character.
Be wary of any technical information which Derbyshire offers; he has a
reputation on the comp.lang.* groups for posting false and misleading info.
Whereever Derbyshire goes, his nemesis known as 'Flash' is never far behind
him. This prompts Derbyshire to cry about "murphy" in almost every post.
If any alt.windows7.general regulars see Derbyshire causing problems
in the group, please drop-kick the retard back over to alt.usenet.kooks
where he belongs.
