Just out of curiosity, what was the make and model
of the bad SSD?
Disk Uitility reports Corsair CSSD-F240GB2, I haven't copied all available
yet and removed it.

While you still have that SSD, could you show us the output returned by:
smartctl -iA /dev/sdX
(Please replace "X" appropriately)
I'm not an expert on SSD but just wonder what information can be
obtained on the use of your SSD.

Akemi,
Here you go, please reply with you insight into what it means.

quote: 1 out of 5 eggs
Dead After Two Months
Pros: None
Cons: Unreliable right up until its death, a very expensive leason
Other Thoughts: At the price being charged for this item it should be
flawless
Manufacturer Response:
We prefer flawless too but, due to the laws of physics, pretty much
ANY product made with a semiconductors is going to have a minimum of a
2% failure rate. And, that is why we have our warranty. Please RMA the
drive and we'll replace it.
