Intel 520 series SSDs still defective?

Hey gents,

I bought an Intel 520 SSD a while back being oblivious to the obvious firmware issues people had been reporting.

Sure enough, on my pc it didn't work properly starting from day one. I haven't tested it on any other pc, which makes me hopeful it might've just been my pc acting up, not the SSD.

Still, the proof of the sandforce controller issues seem to be all around.

So before I try putting it in a different device I was wondering: Does anyone know whether they fixed the issues, or not?

I used both the 120GB & 180GB model on my desktop PC (ASUS Sabertooth 990FX, FX-8150 Proc, 16GB of Corsair 1333, Nvidia 560) and had absolutely no issues. I know some people had problems with the controller, but I definitely wasn't one of them. I would still be using the 180GB model if I didn't need a little more space for program files.
