Your doing it wrong!
OMG wtf happened?
Have u have some storms there? I wonder if you had a surge or something?
No Storms. I was on photoshop, the system hung and did not respond so i restarted the system and when doing post boot check it was hanging on the sata drive checks.
It recognised the drive in the bios for a while and then dissapeared for good. & now nothing works on Sata #1
I can not get it recognised in any of my 3 computers.
I dont know how i'm doing it wrong? please advise so i dont blow up the replacment :p
I just saw this thread...

hmmm sounds like my issues...
and i suppose now its bricked and not being recognised there is now way to update the firmware?
Yeah you are right, get it RMA'd asap.Quote:

If i invert the bios battery and discharge any remaining power then boot it will pick up the drive in the bios but it wont boot and vanashes upon restart again.
Have you got your new one yet?
no i only sent it of this afternoon so i dont expect the replacment untill Monday or Tuesday now. however i am worried this is going to happen again as it turns out to be quite common. i heard betwen 5 - 10% of the drives could be affected
Overclockers confirmed its dead. replacment on its way. should i update it to the lastest firmware before i do anything else this time ?
No! The latest OCZ firmware kills drives and makes them extremely unstable. At least in the Vertex's. Anything past 2.02 is a nightmare
so i have two choices. update the firmware and probably brick/slow the drive or dont update and risk bricking it anyway. choices choices :up2:
@Outcasst did you do anything in particular when setting your OCZ's up?
Nope just plug and play apart from setting the RAID.
Yeah same here. I wasn't sure if OCZ had a recommended setup routine or something.
just about to install the new one :)
Good luck mate, hope this one works out for you :up:
its installed and stable just got to cross fingers it don't brick itself.
Excellent, glad to hear it :up:Quote:
