I have an old 64gb Vertex 2 OCZ SSD drive that spontaneously turned into a brick a year ago or more but I haven't quite got around to throwing it out yet.
When you connect it, it sometimes actually detects and you can browse files but I think when you try to open something or format it etc. it no longer works and no longer detects, but then will detect again in the future.
In linux whenever you try to format or partition it, it always says error retry cancel ignore.
Of course I stopped using it when it had Windows on it and it kept crashing and then wouldn't detect on startup.
I have tried updating the firmware but it says firmware failed and then it won't detect anymore.
Is it time to throw it out?
