How to get a new SSD every 14months

[SPG]

Really easy

Buy a OCZ agility 3, 120gb then just keep sending it away for RMA every 14 months when it decides to die again, 3rd time now.

What steaming pile of IT equipment i have ever had my tired old eyes to encounter. I only use it for my STEAM account but what trash it is.

Sell the replacement and choose a Samsung,makes life much easier,no wonder they went bankrupt

I had two die on me too, 6 or 7 years ago i swore by OCZ they made good ram and not bad PSU's. Not suprised they went bankrupt either.

Samsung all the way now on the SSD front.

Mine's running fine, (as my Steam drive too)

+1 for Samsung - my 60GB OCZ is pony in comparison.

iv'e had 2 agility 3s die on me too. the 60gb replacement is sat in a drawer doing nothing now. That one is fine, I just can't bring myself to bother using it, or selling it. Prices on le bay are gash. Odd thing is, I have an ocz solid 3 that I've had a few years and has been used in several rigs and countless re-images, now in my media/minecraft server and its never skipped a beat.

What happened OCZ; you used to be cool, bro ;_;

Got a couple of Agility 3's here that have been working fine since last year.

I've probably just linxed it now

 

[WhoaPotato]

My agility is fine as well, you must got really really unlucky..

All my SSDs have died.
I RMA'd, sold on and upgraded each time.

Intel, Crucial and now with Samsung.

My Agility 3 is still going strong, being used in my netbook now I'm sure it will die one day though.

Mine died after 3 months. I never bothered to RMA it since I got it cheap. Says a lot.

back in the day I used to own Vertex 2 120GB, which I bought for 200 and that was a deal

had it for a year, but sold on before it had a chance to fail on me. wouldn't touch OCZ SSD now. I've been with Micron (well, Crucial) and Samsung ever since and never had a problem.

Am i the only one that went with a Sandisk Extreme? lol

 

[andy_mk3]

Just realised I've had my OCZ for 2 years now. Just ticked over 10,050 hours, 5.3TB Reads and 2.9TB Writes.

 

[wazza300]

my little corsair isn't doing too bad,should say 5gb free space though not 60gb

I think the earlier ocz last longer?

Crucial V4 died on me after 13 months, RMA'd to Crucial and they're sending an M500 to replace it

 

[wazza300]

the v4's are poor tbh,the m500 will be much faster/reliable, you did well

My vertex 2e died after about 9 months. Ocz replaced it with an agility. Sold it still in its packaging, it died after one days use in the new owners system. Use a samsung 840 250gb myself now and it has been great so far.

 

[covenantuk]

I was so tempted by those Vertex Bigfoot 512GB to use as Steam drive, but now the V4 has died I can't sniff at an M500, even if it is only 240GB.

So I'll end up with a Samsung as OS drive and an M500 as Steam drive

 

[pastymuncher]

Am i the only one that went with a Sandisk Extreme? lol

Nope i got a 240Gb one after my OCZ Vertex 2E died after 13 months. Sold the brand new replacement only to get a email from the buyer 2 weeks later after that died. Helped him with the RMA and the brand new replacement for that also died. Good riddance to them.
