Quick update. Game performance is about the same as expected, but load times are much easier to deal with.

My Sandforce 60Gb just died in my media centre. :

Nah, but it was an OS only drive. All my TV shows were on separate drives.

Just going to rebuild on a temp drive, then copy it to the replacement SSD once it comes back (replaced under warranty).

That's not so bad then. Maybe you could do what I did and ask for an Intel drive instead. It worked for me.

I have a feeling they'd replace it with a Vertex 3 (the failed drive was a Vertex 2).

The 2s had a pretty high failure rate iirc. Good luck with the 3 if you get one, 4 if they want to be awesome for once.
