I have used a couple of OCZ SSDs for the past 5 years or so and never 
had problems with either of those.  And they are _much_ faster than 
platter drives.  In my case the machine booted in less than half the time.

Also, FWIW, I have had more failed enterprise grade drives than desktop 
drives.  Just keep in mind that YMMV.
