Welcome to my club. Anyone with a Sand Force controlled SSD can join up! Here we can discuss how wonderful sand force is!
Just post with a request and i will add you to the list. Fell free to post pictures and screenshots related to these SSD's! have fun!

Information:
SSD's are very fast and do not store/read information using mechanical moving parts unlike hard drives.
SSD's can wear down. TRIM is a feature that can reduce the rate. TRIM is built into Windows 7.
SSD's use firmware. It is like a BIOS. It is always best to update it using the tools provided on the support page of the manufactorer website. Firmware can be updated in windows.
SATAIII is recommended due to the fast transfer rate and overall speeds provided by SSD's.
SandForce has many issues reported by users such as freezing and BSOD's.
For OCZ 3 users, Firmware 2.15 fixes the SF bugs. Other sandforce users must contact the manufactorer for alternative firmware updates for the SF controllor.

Here is link to other site that tested if the bug was real. They compared SSD performance after many, many write-tests on 5.0.1/2 FW and newer, fixed FW.
