Was the SSD made by OCZ or had a Sandforce controller by any chance?
Also anecdotal, but my 160GB Intel X25-M 'G2' has been working perfectly for the past 5 years and 10 months. So far I have written 16.92 TBs to it [1] and until I moved the drive into another PC I had been running games and VMs from it.

FWIW, the drive from which I quote usage stats in my comment is a 100GB OCZ Vertex LE. So, this is the fabled "double whammy" of OCZ-manufactured drive and early SandForce chip.
