Like Intel ones? hint: they are defective and all die. Its like buying used tires for your daily driver.

There are some, but also SanDisk, Dell (rebranded Toshiba), etc...

I've had pretty good luck with everything so far, knock on wood. The 1.92TB drives I mentioned are SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco II, and they have been pretty good. What's really impressed me are the Dell/Toshiba write-optimized 1.6TB drives I picked up. Pricey, but excellent performance.

I have a few I think 240GB Intel drives I picked up as well. They initially had some of the problems you're referring to, which for me was not showing up after a warm reboot, but they haven't done that for a while, so I'm thinking it may have been fixed by an OS update.
