After 4 weeks drive failed asked for refund or replacement was sent a link to crucial to try and RMA it through crucial I'm actually shocked and quit disgusted if it was pc world or argos you would take it back and get either a replacement or a refund no problem they wouldn't tell you to contact the manufacture after only owning it 4 weeks you have 12 mouths by law!! I'm never going to use 3rd party sellers on amazon ever again its just not worth the hassle when things go wrong ;-(...
Originally I gave this ssd a five star review as installation of window 10 went fine and I had no problems at first but after about 17 days I restarted my pc to find windows wouldn't boot and It just kept booting into bios so I ran windows repair, this allowed me to boot into windows but 2 days later same thing happened again but this time it was unable to repair....
I've never had a problem with this copy of Windows I've used it many time's on many machines never an issue but I had to format and install windows again witch went fine until it restarted during usual driver installation then I was back to no OS detected I used windows cd got into windows ran error check no problems found with windows rebooted and I was back to bios tried force boot this worked once then did nothing so I installed windows again this was actually the 4th time I've installed windows on this ssd in less than 4 weeks but it's happening again during installation reboots I had to keep shutting pc to finish the install and last night I tried opening a picture on my desktop but was told unable to open due to hdd file corruption yet file check says everythings fine after a few tries it opened fine so I'm almost 100% certain there is a big problem with this ssd my pc worked brilliant for 3 years on a cheap 120gb ssd that still continues to work fine I just needed more space on my OS drive so upgraded I changed no settings in my bios other than boot order during installation and if I plug in my old ssd my pc work's great again!!
Since I last installed Windows I've had to keep putting pc to sleep because I'm actually semi disabled an I fair shouting it down will mean i may not get it running again and I have no TV or dvd in my house everything runs through the pc so it's become a bit of a problem to point I'm going to pay someone to install my old ssd so I can send this one back for a refund i just wish I'd acted sooner unfortunately it's taken 4 weeks and 3 days to make sure it was the ssd that's defective but hopefully I will be able to get a refund as I feel unease about using this brand again and I really can't keep formatting my pc it's to much stress 😔....
