I have an Intel (not sure which model, X-25M? Does that exist?) I got in 2009, it started failing last year (SMART warned me). I emailed Intel about it and they asked me to send them SMART results, I did, they told me to mail them the drive, I backed everything up just fine and sent it in, and a (hellish, HDD-slow) week later I got a brand new one. Restored the data, it's still going like a champ. |

Yup, famous for being pretty much the first range of affordable SSDs that didn't suck.
The year before you'd be lucky to get more than double digit random writes/sec with anything. One OCZ I tried around that time couldn't even get past one digit - it managed something like 6 writes/second. Then the X-25M/E, came out and suddenly we get tens of thousands.
