So i just got my 2x Agility 3 drives from OCZ RMA after sending back 2 dead Vertex 2 drives. I was excited and immediately ripped everything from the bubble packaging noticed one drive had a "sticker stain" thought to myself this thing better not be referb and repack drive. after some hesitation i went ahead and flashed the latest frimware on the drives and got right to installing windows. the first install froze at installing updates, thought to myself must be a weird windows software anomaly and promptly reset the system and installed windows again, second times the charm. got all the drivers and software installed so that i could start "rebuilding" windows the way i like it to be. started up some music on pandora and noticed the system was stuttering. figured windows must be installing updates no big deal and resume working. this happens 2 more times then i get an F4 blue screen think to myself "shit i got a bad drive out of the box" sure enough system restarted and the raid manager comes back saying drive 1 "error occurred" and proceeded to to boot back into windows weirdly enough. i was greeted by this when i opened up the RST manager:
As of right now i have pandora up and running and has not been stuttering at all since the reboot and im typing this message as we speak on the affected computer everything seems fine.
so heres the question - do i reset to normal be on my way and hope for the best or contact OCZ AGAIN ?
EDIT: i reset the drive to normal - reset the system and ran check disk on the array with /r - half way through the system blue screened again, reset and the RST manager said "Error occurred"
Guess that answeres that question, just an FYI it was the strange looking "referb" drive that was having the issues
I've already got an RMA sent back to OCZ, just waiting on a response now
