    I was wondering if the new update to the Kingston Hyperx SSD really did fix the Sandforce BSOD issues? I'm looking to get a new SSD that'll significantly decrease my load times and I feel like the Hyperx is where its at. But I've been hearing so much about issues with the Sandforce controller that its straying me away from it.

    Could anyone let me know if the BSOD issue has really been solved....or recommend me a different SSD that'll give me phenomenal load time (windows boot/Game loading/Application loading/Etc.)

    I have read a few reports across the web that the BSOD's continue for some users.

    I haven't pursued it further as SF is officially 'dead' now with LSI taking over.

    I'm waiting to see what their take on a new model (I've given up on firmware fixing SF's numerous issues) will bring to the table.
