Ouch, sounds like somebody got hit by a really bad batch of drives. Always a risk when you buy a bunch at the same time. :/

In my experience, all SSDs are a bad batch unless they're Intel 520 or Samsung's high end range.

A big mistake to make is to fill an SSD drive completely up with data. This is a huge no-no unless it's an enterprise drive which usually use a totally different design.
