SandForce "SF-22XX" issues and workarounds

@Anvil
You might want to check/get in touch with stasio and Lsdmeasap and let them know what you are trying to do and why. They are both GB gurus and extremely generous with their help. I think they might be willing to help you out in being able to mod the BIOS's yourself.

Will do although I,ve managed to find option rom modded bioses for all my X58's, that still leaves the Z68's and a P67.

Sure, all system are running with loads of drives including SSD's.

The ASRock Z68 boots off a Vertex 120GB (gen1) and is also hosting the Kingston used in the Endurance test.
The AMD boots off a WD SSD and hosted the Kingston from early June up until the SF drive caused issues, about a week ago. (The AMD acts as a server and hosts 8 HDD's in raid)
There was an issue with the Kingston on the AMD but the issue was not reproducible.

The X58 I used for the short test which resulted in 51 hour runtime for the Force 3 is my main workstation with loads of SSD's, the X58 I have prepared for further tests currently boots off a Corsair Force GT 120GB.

edit:
The second Z68 is the ASUS M4E-Z, it's booting off 2R0 Crucial m4.

The Force 3 is still running, it is close to 65 hours and more than 24TiB is written during this session.
