    its good to know cuz my vector just died 4 hours ago after 3 months of use, now my secondary system is running off the traditional harddrive, its funny though the drive just killed itself without an apparent reason, restart and boom its gone, i like it how they implemented the firmware

    less than 10Tb of nand write is very acceptable for OCZ products...

    Does the Vector show up in the bios?

    If it's there a secure erase/format and reinstall of the OS might fix it if the boot files got corrupted.

    So what happened (happens?) to the rest of OCZ, the parts that Toshiba didn't buy? Last I heard, "OCZ" (whoever/whatever that may be - didn't Toshiba buy the OCZ name?) was still looking for a buyer for its PSU technology.

    Good idea. I have a Partition Tool and it does this quite satisfactorily.
