Is SandForce the elitiest SSD controller? It's rated to have fast read/write speed. But once you install your OS, does still read the file/data at the rated speed as on the specs?
This article really gives me 2nd thoughts on getting SF based SSD...

Personally.. You wouldn't put an ssd to this type of stress in typical conditions. And with the cost of SSD's falling below $1 / GB why would you even buy a 60GB for OS and put your storage on it?
I've used Vertex 2's, Agility 3's and now I'm on 2x128GB M4's. As long as you don't fill your SSD to the max, you will be fine.
