    Has anyone tried one of these?

    m14x support sata lll (I heard there is some problem with m14x-r1's driver which will down to sata ll)

    If possible use sata lll , I don't think OCZ 2 really that great , I prefer OCZ Vertex 3 Max iops & Vertex 4 , others OCZ as busted51 mentioned about.

    OCZ drives are generally ok, though I would never suggest one, maybe the newer vertex 4 series. But a lot of them tend to go bad. It wouldn't hurt to try, but if you can, it might be worth it to exchange it for an intel, crucial, or samsung ssd as the prices are coming down quickly. But just remember to set trim and remember to keep an image of your drive and your files in case something goes bad.
