You were lucky then. I had one of the early Vertex 3's, and it took a whole series of firmware updates before OCZ got it right. They did in the end (it's still working now), but I'd never buy another OCZ. Also, the Vertex 3 advertised read and write speeds were far above what you get in real use: they only apply in tests using long strings of 0 or 1s. Compression creates great test results which in turn sells product. But when the customer finds how much slower the device is in use, they don't become repeat customers.
