However, when you DO brick an SSD, there's no hope for recovery. I bought 2 OCZ Agility 3 SSDs a few years ago, and I had massive problems with one of them for a long time. When I finally posted to their forums, they had me run diagnostics against the disk which revealed problems. I made a backup, blanked the disk, shipped it to them, and they sent me a replacement tout de suite. All around a good experience.
However, there are some very visible issues with S3 sleep and SSDs that many manufacturers are having trouble overcoming; or at least they were a couple years ago. I'm building a new gaming rig this weekend, and I've gone over to Samsung for my SSD. I hope I don't have any issues.
Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB SATA III on NewEgg for only $90! THAT'S a steal.
True confession time: I promised myself that when they dropped to a buck a gig I'd buy a bigger one. Suddenly they reached half a buck a gig and I struck...which ended me up with a SSD I DON'T EVEN NEED. Because it was shiny. (Hanging head in shame...)
