We have about 70 Dell optiplex desktops that have a Samsung 830 in them that appears to be doing fine. None has failed yet. We also have 300 cash registers running the Intel 320 series 80GB and so far 3 have failed in 8MB mode, eventhough they do have the correct firmware. It's basically the way it tells you something went wrong. We are very picky about our Intel SSD models, only a few have power protection circuits. Basically only the models with the in-house Intel controller have this. (X25-M, Intel 320, Intel S3500/S3700). We did have 1 OCZ Vertex 2 that predictably died just after the 1st year in a developers laptop, that was a train wreck waiting to happen, and it did. Another production box is a 12 disk Raid 6 (~2TB) with 300GB Intel 320 series, it's been fine on a light write workload. (70/30).
