I'm pretty happy with my OCZ Vertex 96GB and 2 OCZ Vertex 2 80GB's. I do have to mention though that I only got the V2's after I RMA'ed 4 Vertex 60GB's. I'm not sure, but I got the feeling that RAID0 and about 100 GB in use 24/7 is not a good usage scenario for the Vertex 1's.
The Vertex 2's I don't know yet, as I only had those for a couple of weeks and my PSU quit about 1,5 week ago. I've had Vertexes since July 2009, so go figure...

SSD's don't (yet) support the TRIM command in RAID configurations, so you're relying purely on the controller's garbage collection.
Also the more spare space you have on the drive the better its performance will be, so it makes sense that you lose performance over time as you fill the drive more and more.

I know about the loss of performance. That's not really an issue when you tend to reinstall at least each 6 months and got at least 400MB/s transferrates anyway.
But if the drive completely stops working then this is an actual issue, because the performance then is lower than any other drive.
