Interesting conclusion you drew about reliability. Corsair are well known for their excellent quality control in the memory world, and OCZ are far from cheap and nasty. Samsung on the other hand are pushing out drives using the cheapest possible high density MLC modules which have known lower failure rates.
I would conclude is that users were burnt by the issues early Sandforce controllers had which were used by multiple vendors. All these issues were resolved via firmware updates, but then how many people do you know who have actually checked to see if their SSD has the latest firmware?
The failure rates across all manufacturers for SSD is lower than HDD with no one being able to conclusively like to any problem so far other than a particular series of Sandforce controllers which isn't used in any current drive. Yet the fear factor is still there for some reason...
