Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options
08-02-2017 05:53 AM same thing happened to me . I honestly dont care about warranty. but going forward I'll not use SSDs. Too unreliable, we've had 5 SSD drives dies. MTBF figure are all false. Every SSD seems to die at between to years. My belief is Microsoft OS is the problem, pagefiles system and other background burns controllers and cells out. Some place claim they can retore SSD data by: a) replacing the controller, or b) replacing the connector.
immediately after getting the drive up back up copy all data to new drive. Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options

My ultra 2 960gb died too. It was barely over a year old but I've not really had my pc on much during the year so the ontime and data written woukd still have been low.
Luckily my windows install is on my Samsung 840 evo that's over 2 years old and I have a 1tb hd for storing documents but the ultra 2 was just for steam, origin and other program installs so my pc is still running. Currently waiting on rma and if this replacement fails I just hope it's within the 3 year warranty period....(fingers crossed I get an upgrade lol) Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options

12-26-2017 08:26 PM Another one bytes the dust......
Ultra II 480 about 9 months old
Croaked. Nothing in BIOS. Nothing on any program. Tried the plug into power but not data for 20 mins, cycle twice... still nothing.
A complete brick.
Not going to bother with an RMA since the replacement will likely be just as prone to complete failure in the future. Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options
03-12-2018 02:39 PM Another to the list Ultra ii 480. no warning signs, woke up to dead pc, boots direct to bios. pulled and put into external dock and nothing. Have heard it could be a bad controller chip. If anyone has info on this repair please reply as I have some data I have to retrieve. Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options
03-12-2018 02:40 PM My thoughs exactly, why RMA you also loose any chance of data retrieval. Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options

04-05-2018 02:13 PM Yes, another death here, a 480, just came in this morning to see the PC sat in BIOS settings and no SSD showing. When I personally die, I'm going to have all the deceased hard drives of mine buried with me, then one day in the future some archaeologist can have fun conducting data recovery on my digital life starting off with a few floppies and Zip drives (I wont suggest that the punched paper tape will survive) in maybe 300 years hence Re: SanDisk Ultra II 480 died...Options

09-07-2018 04:48 AM - edited 09-07-2018 04:49 AM was proposed with replacement to 500GB 3D SanDisk Ultra that is much chipper and slower (in fact). |
