As for the long firmware update, the info is on the OCZ website link I posted previously.

The point is the X25-M has been largely trouble free, while OCZ users had to go through quite an ordeal of "betaware" to get to where they're today. That is what contributes to my lack of confidence in their product.
It doesn't always keep itself in good condition. It depends entirely on the workload, and that workload can still be described as general.

Shame that G1 ain't getting TRIM! because then there would be 0 issues with degradation.

Currently got my vertex's back in my desktop in raid 0 as the G2 delays are getting beyond the joke, as was the Indilinx launch.
Truth is I forgot how good a few of these puppies are in raid 0 (write back cache off). I actually think the 'average ssd user' MAY get more noticeable daily task performance out of a couple of 120gb turbos than the G2's!
