If you lose your data because of a failing disk you lose your data. Whether or not you get a replacement drive does not change that fact. The length of a warranty might be an indication of the expected life of a product, but it says nothing about the state of one individual drive. > - You can't buy it new anymore (discontinued) Again, relevance? > - There are more reliable drives available. Still no argument to replace an existing working one... And as I asked Valeri, can you please provide us with links indicating the poor quality of Corsair SSDs (in general)? I do not know how SSDs fail, but when regular HDs start to fail you usually have some time to get a replacement before they fail altogether. I would expect the number of reallocated sectors to increase, but still have a little time to replace the disk once that happens. And supposing the disk actually does store the number of "retired" blocks this disk seems fine: > > 5 Retired_Block_Count 0x0033 100 100 003 Pre-fail Always - 0 Regards, Leonard. -- mount -t life -o ro /dev/dna /genetic/research
