The Intel issue was only with the Intel 320. I still recommend Intel over any other brand. If your primary concern is stability you could go for an Enterprise SSD SLC drive but they are ridiculously expensive.
I’ve had several Intel X25-M running 24/7 for years w/o issue. I’ve had a 1st generation Samsung SSD running for ~4 years as well w/o issue though I don’t recommend it. I take most horror stories w/ a grain a salt.
