I had a recent SSD failure, the first symptom was masses of disk errors on the resident filesystem. This was followed by a system crash which seemed to corrupt some BIOS settings as well. The SATA port wouldn't talk to a new drive until I reset by pulling the BIOS battery (ASUS M5A97 EVO). The SSD seems totally dead now (OCZ Vertex 3). I have a daily rsync of the OS on another drive, so I was able to quickly reconfigure the backup to be bootable.
Did you read the SSD stress-test feature? (Sorry, no link.) The good news is that the drives lasted much longer than expected, but they made that point about drives dying. Once they start really to die, the sequence is the firmware detects the drive is dying, and goes read-only to give you a chance to save your data. BUT. As soon as you power-cycle a read-only drive that's it. It commits suicide. Nothing there at all any more.
