Guest_Jim_* Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 A pair of Vertex 3s. Yes, I'm a glutton for punishment. I've not had any issue with my original Vertex and am quite happy with it. Of course, I don't (ab)use my laptop like you, so maybe you will break something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 The drives I've had die in my desktop are literally clones of the original Vertex (you can even cross-flash the firmware from one brand to another). The SSD I've abused is in my EeePC and it's never had a single problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoDG Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I have two Vertex 3 60GB's and a Vertex 3 120GB Max IOPS, so I'm right there with you Waco. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Thanks for saving me money Waco I just can't get myself to order an SSD. They just seem to not last very long or have firmware ussues and then I've read a lot of people get bsod or other weird errors. Mas tiempo for SSDs to get better, for me anyways. I'd call corsair and have a nice little talk if I were you though if you haven't already. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Aren't SSD's supposed to be MORE reliable than mechanical drives? Go figure. Â Â Well so far I'm at a 100% failure rate within 1 year for both of the SSDs I've had. If the trend continues my RMA return will die within a few months. Then I'll be 3 for 3. Â Â Why I don't have an SSD. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 This is why I own SSDs. Â Â Sure, it's just ATTO, but aren't those numbers fun. I'll have Windows on it shortly, I had to resize my backed-up image to fit on the somewhat smaller array. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 I've yet to have a SSD go bad. I've had plenty of HHD's go bad, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 EDIT: Frank aren't you supposed to be at the Patriot party?  I'm consoling myself by playing 140 dB music on the home theater. I can't get away with this when BluePanda is home.  No Frank didn't go to the Patriot party with us, but you really can't look at the time stamps of our posts, due to the fact that we are all prob still posting in our own time zones  But, I def believe you about the loud music. Panda almost freaked out on the McDonald's crew because the music was too loud But, after a long day of writing there using the wireless, because of our crappy internet limitations at the hotel, I think most of us were getting antsy!  Well it sucks about the drives going bad, but hopefully you will have better luck this time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waco Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 ...I think most of us were getting antsy! Â I can imagine. I'd almost rather have no internet than slow spotty internet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick2500 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Wow that is weird, I was checking my pms on here and burning a dvd then BSOD and my pc would not boot.

Kingfisher Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I've yet to have a SSD go bad. I've had plenty of HHD's go bad, though. I still have my 4.3 gb Fujitsu hard drive that came with the first pc I ever bought back in 1998 , works like a champ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
