I bought 5 of these less than two years ago, though they were the 500 GB model. Every single one of them has failed - some within 45 days and just outside the return period. The last one, which I honestly forgot was still running and thought I'd replaced, failed this morning.
These SSDs are absolute garbage and their warranty replacements are a joke (read: you're outta luck, Chuck). Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me 6 times, well, shame one me for buying them again, I guess. lol. I had one fail prior to this batch, but assumed it was an oddball.
Pro tip: Never buy Silicon Power (SP) SSDs. I you have any in use, make sure you have backups running daily and that you check those backups every so often.
Seems like the 3v3 regulator is what goes out on these, but I'm not going to bother trying to repair it since I've got backups.
Got a similar problem with ocz drives before they got acquired by Toshiba. Bought three, 100% failure rate just after warranty expiration
I have a 64gb one still going, one of the originals haha
Same here! Boot drive in a seedbox, been running continuously in one PC or another for about 12 years now.
Damn, all of my ocz ssds are still working. I know they're garbage, so I'm not doubting you. I'm just amazed mine have made it this long. They're still in my PC.
I have one of the originals, but I retired that one due to how slow it's write speeds were.
But my two Vertex and one Agility are still kicking.
