Was it an OCZ, by any chance? The exact same thing happened to me. I scrupulously avoided unnecessary wear, disabled swap (though I've been disabling swap for years), mounted /tmp on a RAM disk, and the accurs't thing killed itself stone dead waking from sleep due to a firmware bug.

I also replaced it with a Samsung, as it happens.

Oh, that's embarrassing! I read that, but somehow convinced myself that it was part of another comment.
