You may benefit from looking at this. The C300 and M4 are mentioned about a third of the way down that particular page.

Thats just a few links, i hate to say "google it" but there are pages and pages of similar problems :)

....its actually confirmed by OCZ as well...

And there is also a blame game going on between OCZ and intel from what ive been reading...

I switched back to my old SSD which is from "Transcend" , i havnt had a problem since...:rockout:

sorry, i should of been more discriptive in my last post..

There is a high failure rate among the Agility 3 60GB variants although it does not effect the 120gb or 240gb versions.

I would take a look at the Vertex 3 Sata III.
