Hi I just bought a KINGSTON SV300S37A120G50026B72410EBD7F and after 2 weeks the os started crashing and sometimes the drive is not detected on bootup so I ran hd tune pro and got

attention retired block count 2
warning reallocated event count 2

banchmarks got slower also and sometimes os does not boot. Do you think I should re install the os or return the drive back ? thanks alot for your help

If it works fine after you reinstalled the os, check with other benchmarks software, but don't run the benchmark too much in the short period of time, and your ssd will be fine because the ssd will have thousands and thousands block to use in your ssd, 2 out of those, which is very small number.

Thank you again after I installed the os drive is working fine and banchmarks are back to normal I called kingston and they told me same thing you did and to give it time since i did the firmware update and see if it gives me trouble in the future they will replace it. The crashing started since I did the bios update on my asus board do you think it could have something to do with it ?

If you're sure that all of the settings in the new BIOS are the same as the old BIOS, I would roll back the BIOS to the previous working version and report your problem to the MB maker. Also, did you Clear CMOS after the BIOS update and "Load Optimized Defaults" into the BIOS after the update?
