Read/Write Errors on new SSD

Check and see if it has a firmware upgrade, go to ocz support site and check firmware for the agility 3 series. Connect the drive to a currently running system and run the firmware tool they have, it will tell you what revision it is and upgrade if it needed.

Alright, I did that. It told me everything was up to date. I ran it anyways since it might have been corrupt or something.

I then went into the details and under Identify Data, this is what I got

Then, I went into SMART Data and this is what I got

I don't know if this helps, but thank you for the replies!

Best answer selected by drumorgan.

Hm, can't figure out why I get an error when I shut down. But it doesn't seem to be screwing with anything, so I'll just let it be for now.

I appreciate the help guys!

I'm having problems with my OCZ Petrol and found this post. I know it is old but, in reading it, I see drumorgan had problems. More than likely if he had the newest firmware, the drive has failed by now. I have been monitoring mine and in touch with OCZ support. Raw Read Errors and Life Left should be the most important data to watch. Scan disk is particularly an indication, if your not changing or modifying Windows, that the drive is headed for failure. ALWAYS use your manufacturers forums to get answers or call them. You can't trust who is answering your posts (even if their status says expert) on other websites even though they seem to be giving good answers.
