The Vertex series uses the INDILINX controller. I have a vertex ssd in my laptop which is working fine. The only tweak I had to do is turn off all the magnetic disk optimizations in the bios.

The only thing that is actually better is the Intel SSD, mostly because they handle small writes faster but I doubt this will have much effect on real life experience as this is a feature mostly of use to server use.
