A couple of weeks ago I replaced my OCZ SSD disk (Agility 3 series, 120 Gb) in one of my PC:s with an SSD disk from Intel (320 series, 120 Gb). Since then I have had no problem in that PC, which used to be plaqued by intermittent freezes and blue screens.

From forums and sales clerks I have understood that while SSD drives from manufactureras like A-data, Corsair, and OCZ are less expensive and really fast, they are not as reliable as those by Intel.

I will update the firmware in my OCZ drive and try again. Meanwhile, consider my experiences as a personal warning to consider the quality and reputation when you choose SSD drive. And, update it with the latest firmware.

Thanks for the note Richard. My new PC is still in the shop because of stability issues. The OS stops mid-boot for no apparent reason. The system stays up for hours if booted in a diagnostics mode so the issue may be SSD related.
