I actually had something like 12 SSD failures in the same machine in about 18 months, including 3 of those being an OCZ Vertex 2 and one Intel X25-M. Failures ranged from working fine to completely failing and not even being recognized the next minute (!), to sudden very very slow read/write and drive errors leading to complete failure. Eventually I talked an Apple genius into replacing the logic board in the cursed MBP (second gen unibody, 15", replaced the hard drive instead of opting for the optical bay) and it's been running smooth with a newer Intel X25-M for 4 months now with similar usage patterns. The first few failures I wanted to chalk up to SSDs being flaky or my being sent refurb drives, but given that I had so many in the same machine and no problems in any other desktops and laptops I tested SSDs with, I just want to blame the machine.
