    hi im planning in near future replace my hdd at the moment i have 5400rpm hdd.

    i have question if i buy sdd 128 or 256gb i will pay about 300 to 400£ it is bit expensive, OCZ on their website say they are giving 3 years limited warranty.
    the read speed of the new drive is 270MB/s and write 200MB/s and i wonder cuz i use software like Adobe AE or autodesk Maya 3ds max etc. what will happen if after a year the read speed went to 50MB/s and write speed to 30MB/s will they replace my ssd for free ?
    or i will have to buy new one?

    tnx for your help

    No, no replacement will be offered in that situation. They'll only replace a defective drive. Remember that the speeds are deceivingly marketed as 'up to'.

    If you want a SandForce based SSD with 10 years warranty look at the Patriot Inferno line of products. But still no performance guarantee.

    Good luck.
