To add another data point for the SandForce SF-2281 controller, I recently bought an OCZ Agility 3 240 GB. I have had a 60 GB Vertex 1 for a while and it has worked great for me, so when Amazon had the Agility 3 240 GB for $190 after rebate (plus free shipping to Hawaii, compared with an extra $20+ for all the NewEgg deals), I decided to give it a go. I will be building an Ivy Bridge system when the OEM processors get released (hopefully) tomorrow, but I wanted to test out the drive before I cut out the UPC for the rebate. So, I hooked up the Agility 3 to my computer, loaded ~90 GB of video files on to it, and let it sit, occasionally playing a video from it when I was home and remembered to. I tested the drive for three days, and it caused a BSOD on each of those three days. The first was when I was web-browsing, the second was when the computer was left on overnight, and the third was when I was typing in MS Word. Which is interesting, since the explanation for the BSODs seems to be that the controller disconnects the OS drive. My OS was still on the Vertex 1 60 GB, and I was still getting the BSOD! FWIW, my outgoing system is a Q6600 on a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L with the original BIOS running Windows 7.
