Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Verified failure on three machines with red LED of death. Transfers stall after several GB are transfered and SSD must be power cycled to revive. Firmware isn't upgradeable using Mac, or even MS XP. OCZ firmware page falsely lists XP as a supported OS for firmware update.
After wasting lots of time attempting to clone an OS onto the drive, I started testing basic functionality of the device. Single operations can work for many GBs of transfer, however, simultaneous file copies and duplications of files already on the device will lock it up with red LED. Documentation is poor with no description of red death LED. Seems like a firmware issue caused by lack of testing on part of OCZ.
I want my weekend back.
