dude, just stick in a conventional HDD with a OS on it. if that works fine, then you know it's probably just the ssd. or stick the ssd into another computer and if it works fine, you know it's not the ssd.

sorry to jack the thread, but my seagate 7200.11 main O/S drive just completely crapped out yesterday (known firmware issue, RMA time), and now im probably gonna go get a SSD.

shit like this thread is scaring me. Im reading about so many damn failures.

I was looking up most reliable ssd's and came across INTEL and CRUCIAL. i'd take reliability over speed any day...

anyways.. is this shit really that common? my mobo bios isnt upgraded to the latest version (p6t deluxe stock from 2008), and if this ssd is gonna be more of a headache than anything else i might as well get a conventional hdd instead. what do you guys think? i was gonna get a 120-128gig ssd for my O/S.

i have no idea what AHCI and all that crap means either. if it isnt something i can just plug and play like a conventional hdd, it's probably gonna be a headache right?
