Hi,Turned on my computer today and it looks like my SSD has packed up. Computer was being very non responsive. I decided that a fresh install might help, so i put my Windows disk in and started a fresh install. This is what i got.

Had this many times, cant format using another PC as well. So is this drive gone?

Did you ever do the 5184 hours firmware fix? Symptoms don't sound the same but worth a look perhaps.

Also try this one ..

Disconnect the SATA cable and leave the drive powered over night then shut down and re connect the SATA cable and try again.
