how does that help you if you loose all your data due to drive failure and then you're left without a working PC/laptop while it's being repaired?

These OCZ Petrol get terrible reliability reviews. For just £17 more you get incredible reliability and SATA 3 in the form of the Samsung 830.
Why would ANYONE buy something so unreliable?!! Sometimes, things are cheap for a reason!
How can you have a computer deals section when you won't allow one of the 3 big etailers on the site...

These drives are mainly used for boot drives so you never really store any important files on them just programs, if the drive does fail your files are safely stored on other drives then you can send the drive off and get a refund. Also the fact you get a 3 year manufacturer’s guarantee would suggest its not likely to fail. Plus you cant argue with £0.49 per GB with an SSD that's a great price.

You should always keep a back up on a separate drive if your files are that important..

you know too little about SSDs. I and many others prefer reliability to saving few quid.

ok, situation: you got SSD with OS, HDD for storage (full), SSD fails. you got no other spare drive home, the SSD will be replaced in 10 days, what do you do?
The Petrol range was actually only released earlier this year so still a current model - just at the budget end with (possibly) dodgy flash/controller.

Well, you can always keep a partition open on the HDD just for such circumstances. but seriously, what are the chances of that? As for backing up important files. It is much better to have them backed up on an external harddrive which is purely used for back ups only.

you never thought this would happen so you don't have spare partition created. what do you do?
isn't it just better to buy a reliable SSD?

Yes, but reliability isn't 100% on any drive. Which is why it's always best to keep a back up of important files.
Also failing what I mentioned in a previous post. You can always burn a copy of linux to a disc and boot from disc if your SSD fails.. Yes it's not windows, but you'll still have use of a computer in the turn around!
