In reply to Gaboris. Let me be frank. What you read is BS.

Hello.

I know that this isn’t fully on topic, but I don’t know if comments on an over 2 years old post would be read so I came here.

Not so long ago I bought an OCZ Vertex 4 that I didn’t get to install yet, but now I found some complaints that said most of these SSDs die within a year or are already dead out of the box because of a faulty controller. Is anything known about this being a Hardware problem or if a newer Firmware fixes it?

I regret jumping for this one without looking up proper user reviews, but now I just want to know if I should back up all my important data(saves and documents that get stored in the system) at all times or just the regular “now and then because a lightning could fry the system anyways”?

In reply to Dom54. I wondered that as well and, honestly, did expect another big name to start a bid.

In reply to Les@TheSSDReview. I do agree with you to an extent, definitely a niche market there for them (and I know all about the internal issues) but how can you have not one rival bid of at least 35M more? for that you are picking up a controller, their IP, their selling channels... just seems so odd. why not have STX, MU, samsung at least throw in a rival bid to beef up toshiba's cost? -(coming from a very disgruntled OCZ shareholder for 3 years)
