Found my old key. I had written it down somewhere. Slowly installing drivers and software and getting it back to normal. I forgot how long and annoying it can be.
Awesome. Glad you got it running.
Me too. Now just remembering what all I had installed and getting it set up the way I like it again. Such a pain.
I ended up going with the Samsung 850 Pro 256GB. It was hard to part with the money, but the 10 year warranty is reassuring.
I've had good luck with the Samsung 840 Pro's, meaning no failures in almost 2 years. In dunno about the 850's, but I would think they're gonna be good too. And also I've have very good luck/ performance from a Crucial M4 256MB, which has taken a beating. Literally. I think Crucial is making M500 and M550 now, which get good reviews, AFAIK. And some rate them higher than the mighty Samsungs. But you probably did the right thing with buying a Samsung Pro SSD.
One thing I do know however, is that OCZ is gaddam terribad. There is a reason that OCZ went out of business. The reason is they suck big balls. Should be called OWSZB (Oh We Suck Zee Balls). W/E. OCZ went bankrupt and Toshiba bought out the scraps of what was left of the intellectual property and whatever brain-dead engineering and mfg'ing guys they had left from the bargain bin of bankruptcy. I won't ever buy anything from OCZ. Got burned too many times by those @ss clowns in San Jose. OCZ if you read this, you know you suck.
