Hello,
I think my drive is about 1.5-2 years old, never had an issue until yesterday.
Was running Windows 8 since official release, and just yesterday it said something like "problem detected on your hard drive, please backup to prevent data loss".
I was like "ok some dumb error" and didn't backup because no data on C: that I cared about. I got the error 2 times last night again. Then this morning once. Then the whole system lagged all to hell, so I rebooted and it lagged some more.
Using SSD Toolbox, it noted the error. Reading online somewhere I saw that maybe writing 0's to the drive may fix it.
So I used Ultimate Boot CD, and tried HDDErase but it would not work properly, I think it had nothing to do with the SSD though. So On the same CD I tried Active KillDisk, it worked fine.
Now I try to load Windows to it and it says it cannot because "windows will fail soon".
Is there anything else I can try before I pull it out and attempt to find receipt for a RMA?
I have had the latest firmware installed always, and did confirm it is still the latest.
Thanks!
Mark
