I tried to get my thread name to match up what I was asking without it being too long, but I still do not think it did the trick.
Anyways, long story short. Just this Wednesday my computer froze, and I was unable to get it get past the Starting Windows screen without completely removing my old SSD from my system. Low and behold, it seems my SSD is completely crashed and I cannot even get it to properly show in Disk or Device Management, and when it does, it almost causes my computer to completely lock up.
In the end, it looks like I will eventually get a replacement from OCZ(whenever they get around to responding), and I am a bit cautious about ever trusting them again. I think I understand correctly that they are one of the fastest SSD producing companies out there, but after mine crashed, and reading reviews/comments online, it seems like OCZ has developed quite a reputation of having faulty SSDs.
The two reasons I am posting this is for suggestions on how to possibly be able to salvage the crashed OCZ Vertex 2 60GB sitting next to me, to at least be able to check if anything important is still on there, and the other question revolves around whether or not I should get an OCZ Vertex or Agility 3, or go with a Crucial 120GB as they seem to have much more satisfied customers and much less negative reviews based around crashed SSDs.

Those are the four that I looked at possibly upgrading to becoming my new OS holder as well as holding some other games. I really cannot trust any OCZ Vertex 2 anymore as it crashed just a year and a half after I first got it.
Any suggestions, tips, or comments about anything I posted above would be greatly appreciate.
