Team Group - T-FORCE VULCAN Z 2.5" 1TB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253TZ001T0C101

Time to find out how their warranty system works and if they handle the issue correctly. I know typically you get a refurbished item as what you get back, which for something less than 3 months old, potentially getting a several years old replacement on an SSD doesn't sit well with me. But the warranty is what it is. Here was my message to them for the RMA: The SSD is experiencing severe I/O failures during normal operation. Linux reports repeated read and write failures at the device level, including SCSI host errors (hostbyte=0x04). The filesystem recorded over 55 million write errors, hundreds of thousands of read and flush errors, and thousands of corruption errors associated with this drive. Despite these failures, SMART reports no reallocated sectors, CRC errors, or internal failures. The drive subsequently became intermittently unresponsive to SMART inquiries. The failures caused filesystem mounting problems and prevented applications from starting. After removing the SSD from service, the filesystem passed its integrity checks and normal operation resumed. The drive has approximately 1,217 power-on hours and has experienced substantial failures despite relatively limited use. I am requesting a warranty replacement due to persistent hardware-level I/O failures.

works great and easy to install into your computer! placed my games into this drive and loads just as good as in the regular drive
