I had a Corsair X128, based off the samsung chipset IIRC. I bought it under the guise that "it will last 100 years", and "it uses significantly less power and generates less heat". It died after 3-4 months. I had it RMA'd, and the RMA'd one died after 3-4 months. I later came across a test of power and heat and found SSDs actually generate more heat when writing than a conventional winchester-style hard drive. How many lies will Samsung sell?

awesome.....very robust and shock-proof. But one thing is sure.....those SSD are alike the RAM memory modules... they are susceptible to heat and chip crick. A spike in power or a constant use in compact overheated box...yeh....off the smoke and chip pregnancy. like RAM died in heat....so do SSD...

@ScepticMatt Ah, thanks for the info.

@Milkshakman its because they didnt de-click the lens iris, so when it opens up to get more light it can only do so in discrete steps, not smoothly.

you have a SSD but no a HDV camera!

@Milkshakman A gap in the leaves!
