    Related to this perhaps? The Corsair recall notice posted by Greg earlier seems to be tied to the same controller problem.

    I like the way they locked the thread quickly and forwarded all discussion to another easier to control area, but it's their word and no 3rd party verification is available (yet?).

    Given the track record of Sandforce, no one should be surprising. Anyone buying a SF product is beta testing for them.

    many products, hardware and software are "field tested" these days. keeps costs down and corps can conveniently say "we're constantly striving to improve xxxxxxx". on that note, rode a new elevator lately? mwahahahaha.

    I've had great luck with my OCZ Agility 2 90GB! works great and doesn't feel like a 'bata' product, SF-2000 series maybe different.

    I will however agree that I've been growing skeptical about the SF-2000 reliability as of late... perhaps it's Micron's (M4??) turn to dominate the market?

    oh and want to talk beta products... anyone remember the JMicron days?
