After about 10 days my Corsair 240GB Force 3 SSD died.
It didn't completely fail but the boot sector was
unreadable and I can't trust that other portions of
the drive were not also damaged.

Speed was/is a concern to me, but reliability is
clearly the overriding concern.

The drive is going back to Fry's today.

IMHO: SSD's won't ever provide the massive amount of data-storage over that amount of time like an hard disk.

This reliability is definitely what makes me stick to conventional hard drive.

For sure, there are some SSD's who will work 5 - 10 years. But what about the price? I do not have enough space with around 5 TiB atm.

The only thing, where I think I could use an SSD: A 16 GB system-drive. There is only one problem:

Nearly no way to get a new one with 16 GB...

I am pretty sure the boot sector of the SSD was not damaged.
Shortly after returning the SSD, my system wouldn't boot from
the spinning disk either. It turns out the bios had decided
to boot from a system drive that had no boot sector information.

The motherboard is an ASUS and the drive priority sometimes
wanders around among the drives. This behavior seems to
follow whenever I use F8 to boot from something other than
the highest priority drive.

Using Mushkin MKNSSDCL120GB-DX since one year.

Verry happy. Won't miss SSD!

On the bright side, it failed reasonably early on so you have time to
return or exchange it. Better to have it fail very soon than to fill it
up with data then have it die or have the warranty expire. Don't give up
on SSD's overall though, maybe just get a replacement or a different brand.
