I went with the Vertex 4 512GB. No noticeable difference in speed, but that's not surprising. So far, so good.

I believe OCZ official firmware updates are non-destructive, it's just the release candidates that are destructive.

 

When I last looked at their forum, they suggested it a good idea to secure erase when flashing. Maybe that's jsut an excess of caution. They also suggest rerunning windows performance index, I guess windows does some tuning based on results.

So far, so good.

 

Glad that everything is working as planned.

I'm happy with this drive. Tons of space and blazing fast. Can't wait to get *all* my add-ons installed and still have plenty of room left over to try out other sims.
