    Just to add my experiences:

    I have a first gen Vertex 120GB in my work laptop that’s been going strong for 1.5 years so far.  SSDLife says I’ve used 70% of it’s life span at this point, though.  It gets used pretty heavily.

    I bought 2 60 GB Agility 2 drives last December.  One is still running as the OS drive in my wife’s desktop, but the other recently quit being recognized by the system.  I ran it in a desktop PC for a few months, then it got moved into my HTPC when I rebuilt that a few months ago.   I’m still waiting on the replacement from OCZ.

    I also have a 120 GB Vertex 2 that was giving me problems with an older motherboard.  I’d get frequent blue screens with the SSD, sometimes before Windows finished installing.  The computer was working fine without the drive so I RMA’ed it, but the replacement has the same issues on that motherboard.  I moved it into my server and am running a few VMs on it now which seems to be working fine.  I’ve also started seeing the same blue screen messages on the old PC without the SSD now (though much less frequently), so I’m thinking there’s something going bad on the motherboard that the SSD was more sensitive to.
