Have OCZ fixed the Sandforce issues yet?

I haven't seen many people complaining lately, so am I right in thinking that it has all been sorted?

Aah, OK, thanks for the read Vimes.

It's a real shame, it being one of the fastest drives and all. :rolleyes:

My OCZ Vertex 2E has died after just over a year so now I have to RMA it to Netherlands

I've been using it on Windows 7 and I always put it to sleep so I don't know why it has decided to die now. It still boots but after a couple of minutes in Windows, it would freeze and then a BSOD shows.

That could have happened with any drive. The Vertex 2E's don't use the Sandforce controller and so that is a completely different issue altogether.

Yes they do they use the Sandforce 1222 controller. Just the same as the Vertex 2.

But it is not the same one that is affected.

There are no problems that are specifically related to the controller.

I never said that the problem was related to the controller or not. It was you who noted that the Vertex 2E doesn't use the Sandforce controller and I corrected you on that point as it uses the exact same controller.

But it doesn't.

The Vertex 2 and 2E use Sandforce-1200

The Sandforce controller that is faulty is Sandforce-2281

...I think that we are at cross purposes here as I and tchan_4 are referring to the Vertex 2 type issues and you are noting the current range with the different controller revision.

I was talking about the Vertex 3 and Agility 3.

I think you are the only person that is talking about the Vertex 2.

I have a vertex 2 50gb. I waited so long for these to come down to £45 and bought one. I hope im not at risk of failure?

No you are not.

Vertex 2's do not use the same controller that is buggy.
