When I got my first SSD over a year ago, I bought a 250gb OCZ Agility 3 drive. Not knowing about the very high drive failure rate. It died last week, completely without warning.
I don't understand why in the world would you spend more money on a new drive - if you only bought that drive a year ago you could have it replaced under warranty. Even if it only works for another year, it's still infinitely better(in my mind) than spending money on a new drive.
