I just had an Intel SSD die on me that was less than 2 months old. Without any warning it became unreadable. Hooking it up to an external device I used to retrieve data from faulty spinning disks didn't work to get any data off.
Right now I am back to spinning disk and time machine for hourly backups. I'm highly considering selling the replacement Intel SSD when I get it back. Some things like loading programs, starting up and shutting down are much faster. When it comes to installing stuff, extracting files, or writing data to disk, this 7200 rpm 500gb drive is faster than the SSD.
Also worth taking note is the $300+ for the 80 GB Intel SSD could buy 4 500GB laptop drives.
