I have been reading reviews of these for a while, seems like they are really prone to failing.

Newegg reviews mostly, low ratings and many people say the drives died on them.

No Guarantees, because I'm usually beat when I get home, but I will get you some benches.

I'm buying two 64GB Core Series SSDs with two 640GB Western Digital HDDs as soon as the SSDs are in stock at Newegg. I'd rather have an ultra fast file system right now than build a completely new rig with the same, slow, 5yo HDDs I've been using. Between my 4870 and Opty 185, I can play any game I want on all high settings decently so I can't justify a complete build until 45nm Deneb or Nehalem. I can, however, justify replacing a failing hard drive and 3 other old drives that are reaching or have exceeded their MTBF limits. I've never once build a RAID system in years of having the capability so I feel now is the time to do my file system right.

Not on these, but SSDs in general.
I am more asking than I am trying to tell anything. Do you guys think SSDs have come far along enough to be at least on par with the stability of regular drives?
Hrm, I'm really tempted to get the 64gb now that it's 240... I just tried to check my GB footprint by selecting all of the files in my C drive aside from the Users folder which contains my documents and media which can be put into a seperate drive and got 33.5gb. Am I missing anything that needs to be added to that footprint?

Sounds pretty reasonable if you only have 1 game or so on your PC.
Yeah, I think I'd probably focus on 2-3 games at a time and swap them whenever necessary. I'm really annoyed that I miss the newegg chance, doesn't come back into stock till the 31st and that's the last day you can purchase it for the rebate to apply, cutting it kind of close.

I would use it as a boot drive probably... then run games and apps on the raid or other mechanical drives..
Good to see SSHDs improving quickly though.
