my ocz vertex 3 60GB drives are still good. they were at 98% when i stopped using them.All the old OCZ drives were sata 2, the surprising part is it still works if it's an old OCZ drive.

oh. guess ill see what happens if i ever try to use them for something.I've had 2 vertex 2's just die on me, never even came close to wearing out, they just each stopped showing up one day.
My first SSD was one of these. Worked just fine until sections of the Windows control panel completely disappeared. I got to watch as folders and files became inaccessible in real time. RMA'd it for a Vertex3 and sold that immediately with an acknowledgement to the buyer that it was a replacement for one that straight up killed itself. Shortly after that the company got bought out.I've had 2 vertex 2's just die on me, never even came close to wearing out, they just each stopped showing up one day.

PC Power&Cooling is back but their website needs an update though and some RGB in their PSUsIt is sad they took PC Power&Cooling with them when they went under though. Although truth to be told they were not making nearly as good PSUs near the end of OCZ.
It's not the NAND that fails on those drives. (They were also all MLC, btw, but still great endurance for the time)Slc is very durable, makes sense.
HE WINS THE PRIZE it is an OCZ and passes all the tests.All the old OCZ drives were sata 2, the surprising part is it still works if it's an old OCZ drive.
Tested without software in a spare pc and it is still noticeably faster than a SATA 3 7200rpm spinny.250MBps with low SSD latency is still perfectly usable for day to day stuff.

All of my sandforce controller drives from that era have all died, and yeah, none had much wear. Brand didn't really matter. Kingston, OCZ, etc. The common theme was the sandforce controller. However, they lasted the useful 'life' of those systems anyways, so it doesn't really matter.I've had 2 vertex 2's just die on me, never even came close to wearing out, they just each stopped showing up one day.
