Performance. You get Sandforce controllers because they advertise a performance boost over other controllers in certain areas. However, there is a caveat in that how it does so is a process that they still haven't worked the bugs out on. While there's not nearly a failure rate on certain brands like Intel for their Sandforce controller drives as opposed to those of like, say, OCZ, they all still suffer their problems.
If you have already updated your respective firmware and drivers for your SSD, then you'll need to consider replacing it. I do know that firmware updates especially will help immensely, and often times actually resolve all stability issues. Yet if that doesn't work, the drive itself is bad and it's time to discard it.
