Got to the bottom of the smoke

[Tripp]

Well I found out why my computer began to smoke after a house move, my OC Agility 3 60gb SSD went up in a cloud of smoke. Not sure if anything else has kicked the bucket, as that SSD had my operating system on it. So we'll fuck what dump that took on my day, no rig for a little while for me haha

Perhaps you should stay away from OCZ. It seems like everything they make goes out with a dramatic exit. It's not the first time I have heard of OCZ stuff go up in smoke.

And here is a thread for you (http://forum.overclock3d.net/showthread.php?p=802287#post802287)

Yeah i think I will be for now, though there new stuff with Toshiba having taken over should be decent. I'm just hoping it's not taken anything else with it, an I am going to need another SSD for my OS

OCZ strikes again! If its not PSUs it's SSDs, I'm so glad the company went under.

Ah well she did last a good 2 years, and I don't think she took any other components to silicon heaven with her so meh. I am a bit down as it's the fist time of firing up my rig in a week, but heyho that's life eh that's 2 in the bag for strokes of bad luck this week, gonna be on the lookout for number 3 . I might try making it into a coaster or something I can have on my desk I dunno.
