All drives are flaky time bombs, it's amazing they work at all. I lost two SATA drives in a PC due to a failure of the video card zapping the controller on the HD. It is conceivably possible to restore the drive by seeking out someone who was smart enough to keep a load of old drives & you might get one manufactured on the same day and country.. enterprising these guys charge upwards of a grand to replace that simple circuit board.
Pity the drive manufacturers don't make circuit boards that work for all the drives they manufacture. - Stuart On 3 June 2011 15:08, Craig van Nieuwkerk <crai...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't know much about SSD's but I think once they die they are a > brick, so make sure you back up! > > > > > What is particularly different about SSDs that you referred to “the kind > of > > sudden violent death that only SSD's can really manage”? > > > -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Kinnear Mobile: 040 704 5686.
