I know it uses a Sandforce controller, but has anyone heard anything about this particular drive? I've stuck with crucial drives so far and have no problems, but I would like to pick something up with better random access.

These drives claim some impressive numbers, but I'm curious if they have many of the same problems that plague the OCZ drives. I wouldn't touch one of them with a ten foot pole.

But this is a decent price compared to Corsair and OCZ offerings, so any comments?
