# of times my SSD has crashed my computer today

And how exactly did you figure out that it's the SSD and not umn the RAM, CPU, MB? Not that easy after all
 
I would love to know how to figured the SSD causes crashes...
I would also love to know why you don't RMA it, you think every other sandforce user puts up with it and review sites don't report it? its ridiculous... IF it really is the cause, it is a fairly unique defect and you should replace it under warranty.

But I find it fairly unreasonable to assume the SSD is causing the crashes

So return it and get the Intel then. Why should we even care?

we are expected to share his outrage... I would guess he believes that his system is constantly crashing from using an SSD (from sandforce) and assumes the same happens to everyone else who owns an SSD from sandforce, he feels outraged at being taken advantage of by the company who sold him a known to be defective technology, as he believes it is a universal problem and that we must band together in protest. At least so I am assuming based on the limited knowledge provided here.

People don't automatically know everything and they make theories based on what they do know, there is nothing wrong with it. We just need to explain to him that it is NOT a universal problem, that it is extremely unlike that his SSD is the cause of his crashes, and that if it is, it is a unique case of a defective device that will be replaced under warranty (this is what a warranty is FOR after all)
 
good post taltamir.

I second the choice of Intel SSD 😛

And we need more information for all we know you did something wrong and don't know what you are doing.

lmao jjmIII don't forget he has to defrag that SSD for best performance 🙂
 
My Vertex 2 is working just fine without a hiccup. Just RMA it for another drive. Sometimes you just got a bad drive. All Sandforce does is create the controller.

Hey Arsynic you should have 8GB of ram on your rig. Especially if your using W7. gl

When prices come down, I'll definately go that route. I just didn't want to dump over 100 bones on memory at the time. I'm already having issues running VMWare Server 2 on it.

Even a SSD will crash Windows if you torrent and install enough infected warez on it.

... the SSD is not crashing windows if you get a bunch of viruses... the viruses are the ones crashing windows, the SSD has nothing to do with it.
And crash causing viruses are very rare, typically they prefer to steal your credit card numbers or use your computer as part of a botnet rather then randomly crash it.

Sure it does... The hard drive provides the storage location for nasty viruses. The CPU also crashes windows (because the viruses tell it to). If you aren't a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem 😛.

ha, fair enough 😛... in that vein though its the SSD, RAM, CPU, mobo and PSU that crash your computer because of the viruses... mmm, I can't think of a way to tie your video card to it, can you?
 
seriously though, OP are you there? we genuinely want to help you diagnose your problem if only you will give us a chance... tell us more and we could help.

It would most likely be virus specific. What if someone wrote an (impractical) cuda virus? The the video card could be responsible for the virus crash as well.


I guess you might say the video card aids in the procurement of a virus (9 times out of 10, a virus don't just infect a computer, there has to be some sort of human interaction)
