Hello,
First of all, please excuse possible glitches with my english...not a native speaker.
I'm having a problem with my Phoenix Pro 60 GB. It has been running for several months now without any problems.
This morning the OS started to freeze. At first I thought it was a usual "can happen" Windows-freeze. I rebooted and tested
the system. The freezes appear about 2-3 minutes after reboot.It took me 2 hours and 25 times rebooting before I was finished
with a sorry excuse of a backup....not an easy thing to do with a system that crashes every time you've copied 500 MB.
I installed the SSD in 2 other systems....same problem. After 2-3 minutes of use the SSD just disappears.
Once rebooted (cold) you've got...again...you're 2-3 minutes. It doesn't make a difference if the SSD is 2 minutes or
1 hour turned off....if it matters.
And now the first strange part: I've allready made my peace with sending the SSD in,so I decided to wipe it.
The first pass (of wiping) showed the same error. Meaning: The SSD disappearing every few minutes.
BUT: Once the first pass was through,the second pass ran without any disturbance. How can that be?
IS the drive defective or not?
I've never experienced any problem with a drive before that just goes away once you wipe it.
It becomes stranger: After the wiping I thought "What the hell" and tried installing Win 7 again.
No problem at all. The installation....drivers...updates...everything normal.
The drive even appears to be faster than before.
I'm confused. With magnetic drives,there's only defective and OK. What happened here?
