seb43654 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi, I purchased a brand new ocz vertex 2 60gb sad about 3 months ago. Worked fine until today. I left the laptop (D630) on sleep for only about half a day, and when I woke up, the ssd would not 'wake' either it had froze. I powered off, and on again. SSD is now not recognisable by bios or ANYTHING. Tried all OCZ toolbox. SSD is completely bricked. Its a firmware bug known as 'wake from sleep' NEVER BUY A VERTEX 2 SSD! Hope this advice helped - any one else experienced this? Seb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted November 6, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 6, 2012 Shite! I trust this is something covered by warranty!I have a Samsung 128Go PM830 SSD and, thank God, it does not suffer from such defect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Bronxteck Posted November 7, 2012 Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2012 it's important to update the firmware first especially OCZ i have a vertex 3 256 http://www.ocztechnology.com/ocz-vertex-3-sata-iii-2-5-ssd.html first thing i did was update the firmware. i havent had an issue yet with it. also for ssd it is good practice to turn off hibernate mode 3 and set it to 0. mode 3 dumps all your ram to the ssd on sleep and shutdown... so if you have lets say 8 gigs of ram it will dump that on every sleep and shutdown. standard hdd is ok but an ssd has a shelf life. every read/write shortens it's life span.
