    So the new Intel SSD is out, based on the Sandforce controller that had(has) many of the problems with crashes.

    Turns out that although, as promised, some of the BSOD issues have been fixed, there are still other issues in the Sandforce chipset that cause problems so it isnt as reliable as many have been trying to make it out to be. Fortunately the Intel drive looks to have fixed most of those issues.

    The Sandforce 2k has been predominantly better than its predecessor!
