Sorry I bought it

This review is from: OCZ Core Series 2.5" 128GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) OCZSSD2-1C128G
Pros:
Tiny. Decent amount of space for the size. Boot up times were slightly faster than the 7200 rpm drive I was using.
Cons:
On Vista 32, 4gb ram, using all of the guidelines OCZ has on their forums to minimize disk access, it runs very slowly most of the time. It was worse before implementing those suggestions. In World of Warcraft, for instance, you can start it pretty quickly, but if you log off your character, WoW writes your settings to the drive, and that takes a good 20 seconds to complete. If you try to select another character it won't actually load until the first char's data is finished writing. Vista runs very slow. Web surfing is very slow. The whole system freezes for seconds while using the drive. You need to move your Temp folder off of the dive. Forget having a pagefile on this. In short- this drive fails at all of the reasons why I bought it. I still haven't received my rebate, and I sent it in within days of getting the drive around August 1st.
Overall Review:
I need to find another drive and hopefully copy off all of my data to it.
