I was going to bring this up. I don't follow the hardware scene at all unless I'm buying parts.
I bought a fairly cheap OCZ SSD, but they don't have quite the best reputation (anecdotal evidence). I've read stories about SSDs not lasting long in general, but OCZ seems to have a fairly poor track record among that and an even poorer customer service record. One story I caught was the change of manufacturing for one of their lines of SSDs which affected performance and presumably cut costs without notifying consumers of the change.
I wonder how the acquisition of a controller company will affect their 'power' so to speak.
