In my own little world
I've owned 2 SSDs in the last 3 years and they've now both died, came home from work and the computer wouldn't boot as it couldn't detect the drive. I've tried different cables and SATA ports but it looks a goner.

Where can I RMA my M4 back to Crucial, my google fu is weak as I mourn the loss ?

Running on an old 320GB mec drive for now

Is it me or is there no where to check the warranty status of Crucial SSDs ? :eek:

Gonna see it I can jump start the drive back to life

Mine has dropped off before but after removing the power and powering it back on it's come back to life, this time it hasn't.

I've already contacted Crucial to get it RMA'd.

Just tried the SSD in a SATA to USB dock and nothing happened, still looks dead.

They emailed me last night saying they are shipping me a 120GB M500 as a replacement.

My PSU is a Corsair 650W HX Modular

Possibly an indication of how they feel about their own hardware! Such a shame, their RAM is never failed me, hey ho, on to Samsung for you!

Well I started with Intel and that failed, I just keep upgrading to whoever has the best hardware at the time.

To be fair to Crucial, and to add my own anecdote to the pool, I own 2 Crucial SSDs (both C300, one 64 and one 128 GB), and both are fine. I've had them for at least a couple of years. I also buy almost exclusively Crucial RAM and they have never let me down.

Used to buy all my memory from them for SDRAM and DDR and never had a failure, they then kinda slipped off the radar. I wouldn't say I've had a bad experience with them with my SSD, ok it died but so did my previous SSD but they replaced it within a week of me sending it back for a newer model. It won't stop me buying from them in the future as I still have a good opinion of them.
