And yet someone will be saying “I didn’t back up my data. How do I get it back?”

I have an ocz vertex 1 30gb that is 9 years old. It spent 5 getting win 7 fresh installed every 6 weeks or so. And the last 2 years to 18 months as a game capture device, which gets filled and erased evey couple of days. So its had a heard life. And it’s still going. (touch wood.)

No! As it wouldn’t help. Wouldn’t store any f-ing data either.

Sorry but the joke is far to old now.

Also i dont come on the forum or hardly any sites from my pc’s. PC is for two things, one is work, the other is gaming (different pc’s). At most I’ve been here twice on my PC (Lee’s logs would back that up). So a keyboard swap wouldn’t help. Though I do love my current keyboards.

Also in informal settings, when I publish in under say 20 mins, I don’t even see my mistakes, no matter how many times I read I what written. I’m sure I’ve mentioned this more than a handful if times.

Sorry to sound off, but it’s been a long day, and the jokes old. I’m sure you can understand this and it will be the end of it now.

I remember my 60GB OCZ Vertex 2E which I RMA’d 3 times and then just threw in the bin when it needed to go back again.

Yep the second gen ocz ss drives killed the company,

I still have some 3rd gen ocz drives, 60gb jobs that again was fine, are fine. I stuck with ocz as the vertex gen 1 worked for me. Loads on here (mm) said I was mad given how v2 worked out. But the 3rd was good, but their name was mud by then.

I now have no brand loyalty, and by the cheapest, or biggest for my budget, they all seem fine. I have a Critical one, (forum a licence for true image yesterday, as I was chucking the box, after probably 2 years), also have at least one Kingston ssd.

If your not after the greatest speed possible, any of the entry level drives are faster than the i could notice, or need.

@Steve,while I generally agree with your point on SSD/brand loyalty, it is unfortunately worth doing a search on your mobo in conjunction with the SSD. For firmware reasons one of the Kingston 128GBs is highly unreliable when used in conjunction with a NUC – been there got the scars. Nothing wrong with the SSD it works fine with a Raspberry Pi, but it just kept falling over when used in the NUC. (apparently a known problem judging by the number of similar Google entries).

Yes, that is one area where you want to do a but of homework first. A quick gooey of the ssd model number would flag up these issues. Then I’d move on to the next cheapest in the line, and so on.
