Eh, the Sandforce fiasco was so long ago, and it wasn't their fault. They could have handled the returns better, but they still weren't the people making the defective controllers.
Ever since they've been spot on.

I'm just on the fence about the company as a whole at this moment, and unless I don't have another choice I just won't buy their products for a while.
Really don't want to make this into another OCZ argument but there are more things I don't like than the Sandforce issue. (I do own a Sandforce drive)

I got two intel drives, one 320 120gb in a laptop and one intel 330 180gb they are very reliable. The 330 loads stuff faster than my i7 can process it (all 4 cores on max CPU during windows login - takes around 4 seconds from entering password until i can brows the web). 180 is good enough for a few games (wow + eve online + battlefield + flavor of the month) and some office/dev stuff (office, visual studio...), the other games i keep on my 1TB raid0.
Something to note, it is generally VERY good to move your Users folder off the SSD. Cant remember how I did that but it saves me loads of space not having all the crap downloads/documents/pictures/music on the SSD. Also move away iTunes library and things like Steam folder.
120gb I think is on the low side but if you are not having visual studio and java dev stuff I guess it would be good.
Have not heard about any disasters in recent times with any of the "brand" drives. I think the technology matured enough by now.
