About 9 months ago I had an SSD fitted to my work laptop. On Friday morning I started getting CRITICAL PROCESS DIED and KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERRORS, and on restarting this:
Port-0: GOLDEN MEMORY-480GB
S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad, Backup, Replace.
Press F1 to resume ...
So I took it to Matrix Warehouse where they tested the drive health as 93%. The SSD will be removed and sent in to start the warranty process, which could take a month.
Is this normal? SSD's should surely be more reliable than optical drives? And surely it cannot take a month to determine if a drive is bad?
I need to work on the laptop so I have no choice but to fit a new drive. Wonder if I will ever see the supplier or Matrix own up and do right ...
