This weekend was a nightmare, my almost new OCZ solid state hard drive died on me. I lost a huge amount of data, I did have some backups but a lot was lost. That that be a warning to you make regular back ups. I am back to old reliable now using my Seagate IDE, no more new technology for me If there is anyone techy enough I have managed to acces the drive using some specialist software but all data later then a certain date was gone, Weird. My computer recognises the drive but it says another process has locked a portion of the file when I try to access it normally through windows explorer.
What were you using it for? SSD drives have a (very) limited number of read/writes before they die. I've got an EeePC that runs on 2 x SSD drives, and I've made sure that the swap file is disabled, and that all caching and temp files are written to a RAM drive. However... SSD is a time bomb, and all we can really do is prepare for the big bang. I trust my entire work/life/memories to SecondCopy. Backup, backup, backup. Daily, daily, daily.
Which brand ?? Solid state drives will soon replace all SATA and ATAs'.I think selected VAIOS are coming with SSD now a days.
