We can all hear the frustration in your message for having lost data, and for that I am sorry you are experiencing that. You made some interesting statements that I have not seen myself. All the current SandForce SSDs out there have been clear of firmware bugs like this for more than a year from what I see. Mine have all been fine. Are you running with some old FW maybe? The problems I see are more often physical issues that are unlreated to the controller. It is important to select an SSD manufacturer with high quality manufacturing, and don't just go for the cheapest solution. Intel uses SandForce almost exclusively now, so I find it hard to believe what you are describing is 100% true.
