Buying a refurb OCZ drive is like handing a pre-riced car to a south Californian hip hispanic child

 

there's nowhere to go except down. If you really want to delete stuff that badly, just use DBAN.

 

What you're doing is about the computer equivalence of "hold my beer"

Have a look at some of the other drives. I can lazily recommend you to get one of these Samsung drives. Just get a good, new, 120gb SSD that isn't going to fail on you in 7 months off of warranty.

OCZ is going belly up. There are talks of being purchased by Toshiba. That being said OCZ has some of the highest failure rates of SSD's currently available. I would not recommend buying one. I've had ~300+ OCZ Vertex 4 256 GB SSD's pass through my hands. We had a HUGE amount fail. Something like 30%+

I've heard their Vector drives are quite good, but I'd get Samsung or Intel for the warranty.

 

I'm personally using a OCZ Vertex generation 1 drive. It's SATAII and it's been running great for a boot drive for the past 4-5 years. I'm going to upgrade to a Samsung 840(EVO/Pro) soon because this drive is limited to 200MB/s write/read haha.

Get a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB. I've had about 250 pass through my hands with very minimal failure rates. Maybe a handful. Also they scream D:
