I've got a 60G OCZ SSD in my BMB which has been running fine for over a year, I think.
It was a second Gen, I think.
There's been a lot of back and fourth around the web, one about OCZ using second-rate chips, one about one of the manufacturers fudging the capacity spec, and something about OWC not telling the truth about OCZ's SSDs. I saw a comment at the OCZ forum that said something about OWC's allegations being "proven bogus", but I could find what that proof was, and who offered it-- OCZ or somebody independent.
There's just not enough info to go on for me to form any unequivocal conclusions. At this point, I'd get another OCZ when the price is right, or an OWC, again, for the right price.
That newegg deal looks pretty good, considering I paid about $110 or $120 for my 60G. But I won't pay $100 to increase my capacity by 30G. If I needed *another* SSD for something, I'd get one. I'd like to put one in my PB12, but I'm just not up to cracking that thing open.
