Narrowing down which SSD to purchase, well, that&amp;#39;s another story. To help make the decision a little easier, &lt;a href="http://hothardware.com/Tags/ocz.aspx"&gt;OCZ&lt;/a&gt; for a limited time is offering a free Far Cry 3 download with new and existing purchases of the Vector 256GB and 512GB SSD (limit two per person).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; That&amp;#39;s right, this promotion extends to current owners as well, so no need to kick yourself if you already purchased a qualifying Vector SSD. Whether you&amp;#39;re a new or existing customer, to cash in on the freebie download, just fill out the form on &lt;a href="http://www.ocztechnology.com/vector_farcry3/" target="_blank"&gt;OCZ&amp;#39;s website&lt;/a&gt; (have the SSD&amp;#39;s serial number ready). &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://hothardware.com/newsimages/Item24420/Vector.jpg" alt="OCZ Vector SSD" /&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; For those of you on the fence, both the 256GB and 512GB Vector SSDs boast up to 550MB/s sequential read and up to 530MB/s sequential write speeds, along with 100,000 IOPS 4k random read and 95,000 IOPS 4k random write performance. These are high potency SATA 6Gbps drives built around OCZ&amp;#39;s own Indilinx Barefoot 3 controller.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Be sure to read our &lt;a href="http://hothardware.com/Reviews/OCZ-Vector-Barefoot-3-Solid-State-Drive-Review/"&gt;in-depth reviews of the 256GB Vector SSD&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Far-Cry-3-Benchmarked-Reviewed-and-Served-Well-Done/"&gt;Far Cry 3 (with benchmarks)&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="newsTextBody" id="dvBody"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="newsText" id="dvComment"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
