I heard mixed reviews on them, from what I hear it's primary issues with them being DOA.

Are they dying when being in production ? We use a raid10 with spare setup now, I picked the OCZ drives due to their speed, I didn't have issues with them in the server environment only had some issues with 1 drive during the installation in a laptop. It worked fine after all drivers / bios etc got updated.

I tried to find comparison between PCI-E SSD vs fusionIO that is also PCI-E based vs Raid10 setup from PCI-E controllers but couldn't really find anything anywhere.
