Anyone see this article on Sandforce and Intel

I wish Intel would get back to making their own controllers. Or do like Plextor and really work the Marvel controllers instead of Sandforce.
 
The article makes it sound like it will fixed in a few months with a new revision of the controller, if you're willing to wait and purchase then. I agree that it would have been nice is Intel did their own controller, or seomthing along the line of what Samsung did with their 830 SSD.
 
Interesting, but I doubt more than 5% of people who bought it even use the AES-256 encryption algorithm it doesn't work properly with. It does still work with other algorithms. Those 5% who do bought it, won't whine and will do the manly thing and deal with it somehow.
 
Intel seems to get the credit for discovering this bug, but I believe it was Kingston who discovered it, and Intel done some tests and confirmed what Kingston had discovered.
 
Yet another reason to avoid Sandforce.

After Intel stopped with their own controllers. And the 320 now being heavily overpriced. Its basicly Crucial M4 or nothing for me.

I have read enough of your posts to know that you are pretty well informed on these issues, much more so than I.
I saw a brief reference to Kingston's V+200 drives - in regards to this issue somewhere also. Don't remember now exactly where or the context.

How many people does this truly affect though? Would an average user ever need this encryption?
