Hi Keith
not sure about OCZ reliability for production , but i can confirm
Intel x-25 drives work great with centos ( about 11 month's now ).
I use two drives as /var in md mirror , using it for SQL and logs -
it's an amazing boost vs ordinary drives.
if you use the SSD for swap, don't put anything important on them, I
have managed to destroy a drive which was used for heavy swap
operations.
(insane experiment with KVM virtual machines got to that situation ).
the machines used the drive as RAM. ( that was an intel drive! ).
I did experience a bad OCZ drive in the past, that's the reason i gone
for the intel disks instead for production.
the OCZ one died from normal usage on a laptop as a single drive.
the intels might be slower then other SSD drives, but i find them to
be very reliable in contrast for normal (sane) usage.
