Review on 💨 OCZ Technology 256GB Agility 4 Series SATA 6Gb/s SSD: Fast Read Speeds up to 420MB/s and 85K Max. IOPS by Lawrence Crespo

First, the item was poorly packaged and shipped via USPS (Postal Mail) in a thin plastic bag with thin bubble wrap around it. IMHO, a useless way to protect my product in transit. I had to force Windows 7 to boot from the hard drive as it didn't like the boot block or something. After three attempts to create and delete partition maps, it booted. I reinstalled Windows 7 Pro on it. The drive is fast and has been working fine from 10/04/2012 to today 11/29/2012, in fact a few days ago it started not booting and my BIOS didn't see a drive at all. This tells me that the controller or disk has failed because the BIOS doesn't see it. I was sometimes able to get the machine to boot with a three finger salute here and there, but now it just wouldn't work. I was expecting these drives to last longer, run cooler, and be more reliable, but that doesn't seem to be the case, and I ended up putting the spinning media back in. Find out. I hope OCZ or this supplier will refund my money. Now the seller claims they can't help me and OCZ needs to fix the drive. I'm not interested in fixing a solid state drive that didn't work properly to begin with. This supplier must either support their products and ship properly, or be out of business: Supplier URL (Department of More) on Revain: http://www.amazon.com/shops/A1A3VEWLTPQ7
