What more can I say. Luckily they're really good with RMAs, but it still sucks.

9 months. The last one I had was about the same. It just died while I using the computer. It froze and then BSOD. Didn't show up in the bios after that.

Doesnt seem like the best lifespan. I hope the Corsair I just got lasts longer than that. :whistle:

Nacelle, would this make you switch to another manufacture? Or are you gonna keep going with OCZ?

I have never heard of people going thru SSD's like you.

Its not common, that's for sure.

It will certainly make me consider another brand that I normally wouldn't next time. I've heard they all have similar return percentages. Maybe I just got the short end of the stick this time and got 2 bad ones in a row.

I wonder if they are getting too hot in your case?

According to intel, when speaking with the intel engineer who help design the thier ssd , he sadi they compared all the ssd on the market back in x-25 days and he said intel drives had a .5 chance of failing. and the worst ssd at teh time had a 2% chance while the worst regular hd has about a 10% chance. you must be having bad luck Nacelle
