Is this the same controller that plagued OCZ drives? If so, does that mean the update make the suck factor just a more updated suck factor??

If the controller was flawed, then all SSDs that used this same controller would have problems. If the vendor's firmware was flawed, then updating the firmware should (hopefully) fix the issue.

A lot of people had various problems with this controller, most of them led to premature failures. Hope....
