Warranty. I've never had bad luck with "unreliable" products. The trick is holding the Manufacturer to their guarantees. Never pay attention to "unreliable" comments as far as PC parts go, minus the PSU. I have "reliable" external backup. Worst Case Scenario: Before 3rd year SSD fails. I return to the manufacturer for replacement. That one fails. I return it. That one fails, I demand a different SSD that won't fail. heh

I've owned three OCZ Vertex drives, and they've all been great. The Vertex 3 received poor reviews initially, but I believe any issues have now been resolved with firmware updates and releases.

Why pick up any SSD now when Black Friday and Cyber Monday are only another week or so away?

Forget raid, get the bigger, faster 256gb Crucial. Raid is a waste of money and don't forget that you only get 1 rebate.

Ok, good luck...

Hope you don't get the random BSODs and freezing and disappearing issues

cause these are $141.49 after savings. And based on past experience, Newegg's Black November deals are unique. I will likely buy the GPU on Cyber Monday, though. Until then, I have a working PC! When the SSD's get in, I'll set it up. Gonna be SWEET

Ya, I only get one rebate, but this is still a great deal, even without the rebate.
