A big +1 to this, from another satisfied Intel SSD user.
Aside from the SSD320 in my personal rig, I also have several machines at work using the older X25s and they've not had a single problem.

After seeing this and reading a few benchmarks and comparisons, I'm going to run with the Intel (it's on sale, and $30 saved could buy me a nice meal or some beer!)
From what I saw in the TR review, the 335 is right there with the 840 Pro, and in some areas, it out performed it.
Coming from a WD 320 Blue, I think I'm in for a big surprise!

Their newer drives are pretty reliable from what I've seen. I'm running a Vertex 4. Can't complain about the speed at all, Win8 detected it as an SSD from the start as well (didn't on my Crucial M4 until a recent firmware update.)
My OCZ Revo is...relegated to only things I don't really need installed that badly but might want to play multiplayer.

Pretty much that is what I gathered from Intel's release notes. I just have the Intel on a scheduler, however I'm sure the Win8 would work fine. I just didn't want to to deal with two applications that, from what I had read, served the same function.
