It is not hard to understand. First, you need to abandon your straw man. Very few people "hate" OCZ -- it is just a corporation, not a person to be emotional about.
Once you get that out of the way, it is easy to understand why most people who are aware of OCZ's history want no part of their products. That history has been outlined here several times before, so I will not go into it other than to say that OCZ has a history of many years of dishonest business practices, misleading marketing, poor quality control, and rushing products to market before they are ready. The old saying, "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me" applies here. Why would any rational person take a chance on OCZ products when there are so many viable alternatives?
Because your assuming something based on the past (mostly Sandforce based SSD's) and applying it to all OCZ products. Remember OCZ was one of the first to release Sandforce based SSD's.
Remember Intel/SATA Chipset issues with P67?
All companies will have mistakes. It just happened OCZ was hit hard for releasing drives with firmware that were not ready for the market. If anything needs attention at OCZ, its this. Release products once ready, not because of a timeline.
OCZ released firmware that fixed the Sandforce issues with most of there drives.
Now they've moved away from Sandforce and reliability appears to be much improved.
My point is, your dwelling on something that has been mostly corrected through firmware updates, and something OCZ is vastly improved on.
I'm not defending OCZ, I just think your spewing garbage about OCZ that's no longer warranted. Since you love Stats, OCZ's Agility 4/Vertex 4 failure rates are around 4% which is market average in modern SSD's, while providing top tier speeds. (Including all firmware versions). They are also based on the same Marvell controller as the "Rock stable Crucial M4" while being faster. With there aggressive pricing and a 5 yr warranty, I don't see why anyone wouldn't consider one.
