I have several of these types of drives out in the wild under 24/7 operation with constant read/write(s) actions. It will be interesting to see how long they perform under these circumstances.

I have the 80GB version of the Intel 320 series

and the OCZ Agility 2 80GB

I still think the technology is too new. But what better way to test your equipment than to give it to the "regulars" that will use it all the time.
