I've had 4 SSD's die each in under 6 months. I'm not really sold on the reliability ;) 2 were OCZ and the others were a Patriot and a ADATA. All in different boxes and all were boot drives. I had a seagate hybrid drive die after 2 months also. All were on UPS's too.
I switched back to mechanical drives for my important machines. Don't have the time to redo everything that ofter any more.... lopaka ________________________________ From: Anthony Q.

I have a 256 GB SSD in my thinkpad, so everything goes on the SSD. On my desktop, I used to have a 160GB SSD...so only Windows and programs went on the SSD...all documents and stuff went on the d drive, which is a hard drive. I now have a 500 GB SSD, but I still put non-programs on the hard drive. As you know, many laptops come with SSDs only....no need to worry about writes...unless you are doing something waaaayyy outside of normal. I got my first SSD in Jan 2011...that drive is still working great! On 5/4/2013 9:25 PM, Steve Tomporowski wrote: > I've just bought my first SSD.
