I've had NO LUCK with my 2 SSD purchases. I ordered #1 and then was back-ordered for what ended up being, 6 weeks. I know what you think, CANCEL the damn thing. Well there was drama going on at the time and I just plain forgot/blew it off. During the forgot/blew it off period I purchased #2 at a regional major retailer, that I won't mention,installed it and 2 weeks in,
it wouldn't boot or be seen for that matter. When I opened the hot swap bay it was in, I smelled electric burn. I was in the RMA (damn it!) stage when finally the original #1 SSD I ordered (6 weeks before) showed up. In it went, added system, booted up and will now BSOD everytime the Welcome Music plays in my not mentioned system. I keep falling back onto my HDD, (system is multi boot) and I realized something my Dad used to say. "Boy, you hit yourself on the head with a hammer 'cause it feels so good when you stop!"
I'm going to remain a loyal fan and user of mechanical devices which have proven, it takes time to be almost perfect. If any SSD ever achieves the ability to even mimic the mechanical reliabilty (from years of design and engineering) like a HDD then I will be placing my order ASAP; after all, waiting 6 weeks was not the SSD's fault.
