I started up my computer this evening and I got a boot error message. After going through the bios to see what the problem was, I find my SSD now showing as Yatapdong barefoot. Doing some further checking it seems this is a problem with the SSD. Does anyone know if this can be fixed or is my SSD done? Thanks.

I was sure this thread was about something else entirely.

Boy that is a interesting name for a controller card. If this SSD is one of the following CZ Vertex, the Patriot Torx, or the Corsair Extreme series (based on the “Yatapdong Barefoot” ID in configuration mode) Info found here ( http://www.bunniestudios.com/blog/?cat=4 ) Judging from that link and others I think you are SOL. Everything I read says do a RMA. |

Everything I read says do a RMA. I think it's a CZ SSD but, yeah, from everything I've read I think it's pooched. I went out today and bought a regular HD with 2TB storage. I think I'm going to stay away from SSDs for awhile. I've never had any problems with normal HDDs in the past. Fortunately, I primarily used the SSD as a boot drive so I didn't lose anything important. |

Really, I never understood the point of SSDs, as long they're as fickle as they're right now. Just stuff your machine full with RAM and let Windows' caching and Superfetch do its job.

Or, you know, use an SSD and have a backup image handy on a mechanical drive in case the SSD goes tits up. The same rule applies to mechanical hard drives.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Boot-up times (for people who actually turn off their computers), OS responsiveness, loading times in certain games, and also - no moving parts, and no noise. |

Boot-up times (for people who actually turn off their computers), OS responsiveness, loading times in certain games, and also - no moving parts, and no noise. And lower thermals. I've tested this. Its just a few degrees at idle, but some people care. Also, laptops. Far lower risk of damaging your hard drive if you forget to turn it off while in transport. |

Lower power consumption which is good for laptops. |
