Plenty wrong with them actually. Tons of info about it on this forum and pretty much all over the internet.Why? There's absolutely nothing wrong with OCZ SSD's, especially the enterprise ones. I've a pair of Deneva R2 SLC's (reference SF-2581's) and they rock shit.
Enterprise drives go through MUCH more rigorous testing than builder drivers to ensure they're bug free. They're no BS. They're built for mission critical applications.
Even then, pretty much ALL SandForce issues have been looked after so far. If you went ahead and bought ANY SandForce drive with the MOST recent firmware, I can guaranfuckintee you you won't have a single issue.
This is supposed to be [H]. I only own 9 SLC SSDs.My OCZ Synapse just jumped out of my rig and hid in a dark corner. You people are intense. That's all I can say about this thread.

Look, OCZ SandForce drives are NO different than any other drives. OCZ uses the reference PCB SF-2281 just like SanDisk or Kingston or Corsair.
Then that'd make PLENTY of wrong with the SanDisk Extreme or the HyperX drives. And guess what? There's nothing wrong with those drives. None at all.
And that's because they're using updated firmware. OCZ has ALWAYS had their SSD's out BEFORE the other companies, that's why they got the buggy, early SandForce firmware and all that bad press. They had the first affordable consumer SSD's, the first gen Core series that were plagued with that stuttering of that old JMicron JMF controller. People still remember that shit and throw shit at OCZ like it has a single bit of significance to today's hardware...
The things you refer to are pretty much ALL fixed with the recent SandForce firmwares. All you need to do is to update the firmware and you're good to go. Only the foolest judges things by their brand.

This coming from a guy who cannot even post an AS-SSD benchmark of them.
You're hilarious!

UD9 is nice and all (I actually used one to run said benchmark), but hardly anything special these days...I wish someone would take mine off my hands actually.
Because my P67 GD-80 shit out with the shitty BIOS and I'm on a notebook...
Excuses, excuses. It seems you are not very good at picking and/or maintaining reliable hardware...
It wasn't my fault...
You're hilarious! And for your next act....
Many MSI boards died from dead VRM's. They're notorious for being unreliable.
And you were clever enough to use one. Hilarious! Keep it going....
The one I bought was just about the damn best built Sandy board, and was excellent price/performance.
Hilarious! If only it, you know, worked...
for reference, the fusion-io card cost me $650 for the 160gb. it was the lowest I had ever seen it.
Decent deal, but not really great. Why did you even buy it? You seem to have no use for such drive.
A simple RevoDrive can be had for half the price and would have blown the Fusion-IO away.
I think you can, if you look hard enough, find a used VeloDrive for about 700. Which is a superior drive to the Fusion-IO. It has not one, not two, but FOUR enterprise SF-1500 controllers... much less it packs much more capacity than the Fusion-IO. 160GB isn't all that much. You can have a 320GB VeloDrive for the same price as a Fusion-IO. The Fusion-IO is practically bulletproof, though, that's not to say the VeloDrive is poorer built. The VeloDrive is also built like a tank. It just realies it's speed on RAID unlike the Fusion-IO, which has a controller that's as fast as THREE SandForce's used on the VeloDrive.
