I purchased an OCZ Vertex 4 120G SSD in September of 2013 which I was using strictly as my OS drive for my desktop. Last week my system crashed due to 'no operating system detected'. It seems that my SSD had failed. I was able to reinstall my OS on a spare HHD which got me going again.
Being that my SSD came with a five (5) year warranty, I should be able to RMA for a replacement, however, I am now a bit wary of again using an SSD rather than an HHD for the OS.
I was wondering what everyone thought about the CURRENT generation of SSD's as far as longevity goes, and whether you think the that the small increase in loading speed and decrease in longevity (versus an HHD) would be worth the extra cost?
NOTE: Other than typical everyday use (email, surfing, etc.) I only use my computer for gaming and everything is loaded on separate specific HHD's (music, games, photos, and misc.).
Thanks everyone in advance for your thoughts.
