I've had a Corsair Performance 3 64GB SSD for 7 months and around 3 months ago I had to do a secure erase on it to get it working after it would repeatedly cause the system to lock up, and it would fail to complete a chkdisk. It is now doing the same again! I've had HDDs with bad sectors before, but they have never made any system I've had completely lockup they just mark the sectors as bad and ignore them but the SSD seems to be completely incapable of this.
Am I just unlucky that I've got a crap SSD or are they generally orders of magnitude less reliable than mechanical disks?
