So my OCZ Vertex2E 60gb seems to have given up the ghost. PC hung and the drive was not detected on restart, tried it on a friends PC and no sign of life there either :(
BIOS just cant see it, nothing in Windows when hot swapped. RIP

About 2 months old and light use, its not on 24/7, quite dissapointed.

I do have a support ticket into OCZ but it's the weekend so no reply from them till Monday, fair enough.
Just thought I'd ask here if anyone else has had one fail, or if anyone knows something to try before RMA time.
 
what motherboard are you using? (maybe a chipset problem)
Have you trying changing the sata port?
try sata mode = IDE?

If that fails OCZforums are good at helping people on SSD problems

Gigabyte P35C DS3R
Tried all ports and tried reverting back to IDE from ACHI, nothing

Tried in another PC so its 99% = Dead

Luckily my old raid array on the old mechanical drives fired up first time, so going by that I have lost 2 months, BUT do have a backup of the SSD, however this was backed up in ACHI, can that be restored to IDE/RAID setup without problems, or will it cause trouble?
