    Dear fellow R3 owners,

    If you are using a Corsair Performance Pro with your R3 (especially the 256GB version) I would like to know the following information please:

    1) How long have you been running your R3 on the Corsair Performance Pro?

    2) Any issues (major or minor) so far?

    3) Have you experienced or heard of premature drive failure with the R3/Performance Pro combination?

    The reason I ask is that for the last year and 1 month since I've installed the 256GB Performance Pro SSD in my R3 it's been running without a single problem. Then with no warning whatsoever it just died this morning. It was still running like a dream last night and I'm trying to figure out if its sudden death was due to the fact that I got a lemon, if the Performance Pro SSD's are unreliable or if they just don't work well with the R3 (the proximity of the GPU heatsink to the secondary drive bay always worried me a bit).

    Thanks in advance guys :)
