    Another SSD Life Question

    Just to follow up on this thread: I contacted Kingston, and they are going to replace my disk, having no idea why the firmware update would have caused such a disaster. I got the RMA today. Dealing with them has unexpectedly been a pleasure. They have no theory on the 42% disk; I'm going to...

    Another SSD Life Question

    What's the easiest way of doing that? BTW, this went from 95% to Red Alert in the hour it took to update the firmware and reload the image. This wasn't the friend's 42% machine. I don't know whether to raise a support inquiry with Kingston or not. Art

    The drive is a little fuller than I expected - about 61% full. It's aligned because I installed Win7 from scratch onto it. I don't have the exact write numbers, and probably won't be there for a while to get that information. That's an interesting idea about the drivers. I hadn't thought...

    Another SSD Life Question

    I tend to spend a lot of time on my primary desktop machine, which was built about a year and a half ago with a 128GB SSD. SSDLife shows minimal aging and a projected lifetime to something like 2076. Needless to say, I'm not worried. Immediately prior to building that box, I built a similar...

    Several weeks ago I emailed Lian Li asking about availability of this case. I was pleased to receive a reply, and was told that it was expected to reach retail availability at the end of September. Art
