IMO I would have gotten one of the Crucial C300 ssd's as apart from being sata3, has a higher read speed than the drive you've purchased. This drive also supports TRIM and it's firmware is user upgradable.

The Vertex 2 also has TRIM support and user upgradable firmware.....

The C300 seems to have broken TRIM support. It was meant to be fixed in a firmware update, but the update was pulled shortly after release as it was bricking the drives. Subsequent firmware updates have not been very reliable. I think they've just released a firmware now which is fixing things though....but this is what put me off of the C300. besides, for normal use the speed difference would not be noticeable.
