The fellas at Neoseeker have just published a review of the Corsair Performance Pro 256GB SSD today. The 256GB SSD was tested against drives from Patriot, Seagate as well as other Corsair drives for good measure. Here's a quote:

The Corsair Performance Pro opts to use a Marvell controller as opposed to the more popular and widespread SandForce solutions, but can it serve as a counter weight to the SF-based SSDs, or does it just end up as dead weight? We pit the 256GB Performance Pro against similar drives to see where it stands.

There's a major fail in their file copy test: the file sizes they use were less than the PC's RAM so could be wholly contained in RAM. They need to try a file of significant size, like 100 GB.
 
After using the Performance 3 and having it randomly lock up after a few months of use, then finding out its a widespread issue with no firmware fixes I can honestly say I will never trust Marvell based SSD again.

Fortunately, Corsair has awesome support and gave me an option of 2 different Sandforce based SSDs as a replacement when I told them I wouldn't accept another P3 as a replacement.
 
At this point, I'm only about Intel SSDs. I know I'm giving up speed, but their reliability is head-and-shoulders above the rest of the industry (from what I have researched).
