I've been looking into getting an SSD for my PC for a while, and I've been browsing and researching SSD's for a while, but on almost every SSD on newegg that I look at, 1/3 of the reviews either say that the drive died after a few hours or just over a month, or that it never worked and caused problems like not being able to wake up from sleep. Also, on drives that use sandforce controllers, I see reviews that say "I'm going to go with Intel", then on Intel drives, I see reviews saying "I expected more from Intel". So many of the reviews I've seen, almost all of them from verified owners, point to the conclusion that SSD's are much more trouble than they're worth.
Are SSD's still a slightly unreliable new technology? If I want to use one as my boot drive, and I expect to install it and it to run happily ever after, should I wait a few years for their reliability to increase? I feel like if I buy an SSD, mine will constantly screw me until I beg newegg to take it back.
Does anyone have any personal experience with successful or unsuccessful SSD's? If I buy one, what is the likelihood that it will work without any issues?
