Interesting contest. Guess I need to update my blog and put a link to here. I'm surprised OWC SSDs don't get BSOD like other Sandforce SSDs. Are you guys reviewing future Sandforce SSDs from G.Skill and Mushkin?

[The SSD Guy]

I have read alot about the BSOD and I have to wonder why I cannot recreate or even experience it in any of the drives I have tested or use. My main system has had a SF-2281 SSD in their since day 1...not a problem relating to SSD whatsoever.

This reminds me of years ago when everyone was experiencing visible slowing with SSDs and I did not...whatsoever. I suggested shutting down system restore as I did notice it in testing the Intel X-25m and, well, look where we are today. I do know that the Agility had initial issues which was fixed through firmware as well as the Corsair SF drive... I don't know of any instance with OWC drives.

I have a small 32GB Zalman S series SSD set up as an OS boot drive so a 240GB SSD would be fantastic.

Posted it on my competitions page. Don't know how much of a contribution I'll make here, but I'll be happy to win an SSD. Never had one.

I've had the BSOD with my AData 64 gig. I ended up replacing it with a Kingston, another 64 gig, it was all I could afford. I'd love to take your "used" drive off of your hands. Man would I love to win this contest.
