I'd appreciate others thoughts on SSD drives.
My 18 month old OCZ vertex4 has just died on me. I don't think I've ever has a drive fail so totally and so suddenly without warning before Prior to this weekend I was pleased at how fast it was, but now I'm unsure about the possible trade off between speed and reliability.
Obviously I'm going to have to replace the drive with something, and having only just got in, not sure yet what to go for.
I have tried all the usual stuff, swapping cables ports etc, but the device just isn't recognised even in the bios.. And I get bootmgr is missing (obviously) when attempting to boot the pc.
There was no ore warning that it was about to go... I was attempting to transfer some data on to my pc via USB, when everything just ground to a craaaawl, eventually the pc locked, so I'm assuming it perhaps was trying to write to a bad sector?
Not impressed if they only last 18months

// tired and grumpy Monday kitz who just wanted to get home ASAP, but infuriated that all the roads around here that sprung up this week with 20mph speed limits... Including major A roads... What a stupid idea... Grrrr... That made my day... Not. So I'm a bit PCless right now and no idea when it will get fixed
