Unless of course newer versions resolves this.

My rig:

Asus Z8NA-D6c
2x Intel Xeon e5620 @ 2.4GHz
12 GB Kingston DDR3 1333 ECC Registered RAM (2x of the link)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin FROZR II
Samsung 2333HD 23" LCD monitor
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W

Main system drive is a regular sata2 drive (seagate 500GB)
Main Work disk is a 128GB SSD (Crucial, it's an older model.. need to upgrade)
Work archives spanned across 2x 1TB RAID 1

I believe that SSD problem was fixed, not exactly positive though. The newer models have came a long way and SSDs using the Sandforce controllers are much better then they used to be. I still only looked at Intel, Crucial m4, and Samsung's 830 series to be on the safe side though.
