Ok, so i recently bought a brand new ocz SSD from newegg not knowing that there was a 34nm and a 22nm part with almost identical part numbers
(OCZSSD2‐2VTX60G vs OCZSSD2‐2VTXE60G)
not knowing this and thinking everything SHOULD work i installed it, raided the two drives together and installed windows with all the updates and drivers and what not. a few hours into gaming i encounter a stuttering problem were my system starts hard locking every few seconds then just completely stops responding.
i dont give it much thought and think maybe its the video card overheating or something, so afterburner goes in & i setup a custom fan profile for it. try again a few hours of gaming, everything seems well. exit game and come back to the desktop and a few minutes in the same problem happens again stutter stutter freeze.
OK, this is a bit more complicated that i first anticipated, i start reading up how to flash the frimware on the SSD's all said and done 2 hours later after doing a full backup and flashing the drives everything is back up and running again. 5 hours later after my gaming session i finally decide to go to bed and leave the comp on for a full backup. come back to the thing in the morning and you guessed it, it starts stuttering as soon as i start moving the mouse and locks again.
i finally went back to my order history to make absolute sure that i purchased the same drive and go figure i didnt E vs non E drive, i do a bunch of research of the differences between the drives and it seems that they are very much different but share a part number. so ordering from the egg i feel confident that they would be awesome like always and throw me a bone and maybe give me store credit to buy the correct drive... WRONG heres the email i got back
of course being so short with an answer and just flat out saying NO results in me clicking poorly and filling out feedback against the rep :shadedshu
So i have two choises that i can take, send my original E drive to ocz in hopes for an exchange of a non E drive
or sell one of the drives and match a pair
any insight/suggestions/thoughts will be rewarded with thanx
