Well I dont know what i'm going to get now. I want to get an SSD just as my OS drive, so I imagine I would want a drive with high IOPS right? Does the X25-M fit that need? If it does I may just end up getting that 'cause i'm tired of waiting for the vertex because OCZ is putzing around with the firmware and cant decide what they want to do with the vertex. I, like most people I assume want a drive that opens all my applications super fast and boots my computer super fast.
