Hey guys,
I use a Vertex 2 in my workstation and laptop, and my friend's workstation uses a 180GB. This morning he went to boot, and the system defaulted to his standard 500GB HDD. After checking the BIOS, we see the system doesn't recognize the SSD and there is an amber light visible on the drive itself.
After doing some searching, it looks like the LED means dead SSD. Can anyone confirm this? ie. RMAed drive based on LED. I can't think of any other reason for an amber light to show on a drive.
