I thought of just putting 5A in a plug/moving it on RCD’d circuit and using it on a less expensive equipment. It is a high quality piece (was). It was running 4x 5870s 24/7 for just under a year (Bitcoin mining) with a very few pauses. I bought it second hand with only 30 days warranty, but...

Hi, I have quite expensive out of warranty PSU which had packed up from what i assume was overheating. 2SC3320 power transistor had literally broke in two. It is pretty cheap on its own, but would take couple of hours of soldering to get to it/replace. I do not know much about PSUs...

And if you take care reading Crucial’s own release: It affects all M4 drives after 5184 hours of up time, regardless. 5184 hours is just over 7 months (well within guarantee, killing off all Crucial's profits if even 20% are RMA'd). Please point me to another SSD product with similar fault...

ohh, not again. Two weeks? Read the crucial's thread, please. Spreading FUD? Do find a word that is not true in any of my posts, quote and argue. I can just as well tell everyone that you are an idiot, based on your last post, and that would be much harder for you to disprove. Stop calling...

Me, plonker, sorry- figured out how to update the title now - fixed. As to my replacement drive - it was delivered [very] late and was clearly used (0001 firmware on the label, corrected by hand to 0009), works fine, however, with 0309. Still cannot get myself to go for Intel's offerings -...

Updated. See first post.

Just a bump for those funny guys who like smelling their hardware. Check Crucial’s original thread, please.

Okay, people. Call me whatever you choose, but first at least read the original thread and check how many of the remaining posts are not ‘edited’ or made up by mods. Yes, you do not have any issues with your M4 drives just now, but how does it warrant removing/editing >50% of the posts on...

No, my username was ‘notatroll’ and all my posts were senselessly deleted by wicked Crucial’s mods. Seriously, the problem seems to be with drives purchased in May-April and it looks like some form of time-related imminent internal chip failure. Firmware, available space, type of use or OS...

Just watch that thread and see how many of new posts are removed.

So you did. You may also admit if there was a problem – why don’t Crucial? To be frank – i’ve RMAd mine and have no issue apart from them covering it up in such extreme way. Even if <5% of drives are affected they make it sound much worse and discourage their customers for no good reason.

Sure, how many working M4s do you have? Check all posts that are still there but had been ‘moderated’ – you’ll get it. I’m not against Crucial per se, have plenty of their memory which is solid. Unfortunately their reaction to a bad product is unacceptable. Instead of working with their...

Crucial&#8217;s forum being moderated as we speak 6 pages down to 4: http://imageshack.us/f/269/crucial.jpg/ They are trying to cover up a serious flaw with their chips, and by any means, apparently.

Just had my 256 GB M4 fail (os/primary drive) - loads of pain. Point is - RMA gives you the same inherently faulty drive expected to survive <6 months. Even used/refurbished - so you cannot say how long it will last and have to back up weekly. Posted just to warn you off - AVOID. Crucial’s...

Ah, when gets hot instead of 100% the fan it just throttles down.
