Lol i read a reply from one of the forumers.
Why they didnt announce this issue to public, resellers retailers n buyers? Those who bought it after January should worry.

I'm using it. Didn't use much of the read/write speed. Only use for boot-up.

Oh, only the 60GB models are affected. Thank goodness.

It actually affects the 120GB (OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G) editions as well.

Added on February 25, 2011, 2:47 amSome data for the Vertex 3 (non-Pro) came out. Initial pricing will be around RM766.22 for a 120GB and around 1,532.47 for a 240GB. Hopefully there won't be much of a markup.

Does it really need RMA? I think my SSD also affected. My capacity only 51.2GB for 60GB ssd.

Suggest to RMA it, not only the capacity is shrunk, the write speed.

now its a waiting game .. who's gonna bring in the new ssd as soon as it launch ? hmmm

I'm getting Corsair F60 in the upcoming PC fair. Is this considered a good choice or do i have any other choices for me to choose?

Speak of the devil! Mine is not the affected 'E' models, but suddenly it can't be detected in bios anymore! Can't boot at all. A few hours back it was working fine.

I googled and discovered quite a few users with this problem. Time to RMA I guess. BTW, I bought this drive on 25th of January this year. Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn it

That sucks. Be sure to demand a 120GB 34nm drive instead of the new 115GB 25nm.

intel SSD 510 series just release today.
check this out.

G.Skill Displays Phoenix II SATA 6 Gbps SSD with Blazing 550 MB/s Speeds

G.Skill showed off its fastest SATA solid state drive (SSD) at CeBIT, the Phoenix II series. Based on the SandForce SF-2000 series controller, Phoenix II pushes the limits of SF-2000 series in terms of throughput, and advertises some of the highest transfer rates for the chipset: 550 MB/s read, and 500 MB/s write. The company even validated these speeds using a session of ATTO disk benchmark. The 120 GB Phoenix II SSD was connected to an AMD SB850 SATA 6 Gb/s controller, on a system headed by Phenom II X6 processor. G.Skill said that the 120 GB model would be priced at €299.

Can you bring it to Malaysia at reasonable price? Perhaps OEM version?

Upon further inspection, mine is actually the 'E' model...
The capacity however was 111.75GB, which is listed as OCZSSD2-2VTX120G on the link above. The box however says OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G.


Anyways here's the latest response on this issue from ocz:

bro, just a quick question
my friend state that SSD is pricey and no use on photoshop or use for application that need heavy usage which like 3ds rendering, can someone kindly classified this?

just bought a SSD OCZ Vertex 2, 120Gb, WIndows show 107GB only there is the remaining 13GB ?
every single byte count

Here's an interesting question. How can I securely erase the data from my SSD drive?

I think I'll stick with Kingston drives. Not having over-provisioning means that I get every single yummy byte at my disposal and I actually get to encrypt the whole drive. The downer is that even when encrypting, there is still a vulnerability at the passkey storage. But if you have a strong password, your encrypted partition can still stand up to some serious hacking.

I don't use multimedia creation apps myself, so I can't say whether you'll be able to leverage SSD's strengths enough to justify the cost.

But I can say that SSDs will not help with CPU bottlenecks. And SSDs excel when doing thousands of little reads/writes and only just a step faster than HDDs when doing sequential reads/writes. And for some people, just faster loading time for both the OS and applications and increased system responsiveness is enough to justify the cost, as it can help them to keep their focus on the work instead of having their train of thought hitting every little speed bumps.
