is my ssd gone?

Hello

At the end of Jun beggining of July I purchased a SSD

OCZ Agility 3 60GB 2.5" SATA-3 Solid State Hard Drive (AGT3-25SAT3-60G)

used my computer late Thursday it was fine, although I do remember my computer freezing a few times last week with the led on the case that says its reading from the HD staying lit.

I returned today to use it, and my computer isn't detecting the ssd and waits a long time on detecting SATA 4. So I tried 2 other sata ports 3 - 2 but it still hangs. I can see a green LED lit inside it where one of the mount screws go.
Oh I also tried a different power cable that is working on another drive.

Any ideas anyone? On my advent tablet now.
Thanks

Sata4?

But sadly it does seem to have gone then.

So not detecting in BIOS? If not, doesn't sound promising, most likely an RMA job.

Yeah not detecting in BIOS on any sata port

never had a HD go on me though. Its only ever been in my PC. Guess my data has gone then :/thanks for the quick response.

Hyburnate yeah sorry my 4TH SATA port

Only seemed to start playing up when my drive had just a few gb left (the freezing)

I had the same problem with an ocz 60gb vertex 2 the other day.

My first ssd died and the replacement has now died. As you can imagine I don't think much to ocz ssd's.

Oh well, nevermind

I think I've just had the same problem with my windows drive. I've had an OCZ Agility 3 240GB for about a month. Suddenly the computer froze and now it can't even see the Ssd in the bios. The cursed thing is taunting me with a green led light. Not impressed.
