Avoid is too harsh to say considering that for each drive with issues there are 9 drive that are working. A better advice would be "Evaluate carefully your options! If you cannot afford to risk, then consider SSDs with other controllers". I know Sandforce based SSDs deployed in desktops that are used as servers (24/24 usage) and in 3 months there was only one restart having root cause an unstable overclocking during which one drive was temporary not recognized.
