SSD loses partitions on a regular basis
Hi guys,
I have a Intel 520 Series 120gb SSD, that i've been using for a few months.
In the last few months, on a regular basis(every 20-30 days), my system boots up normally without errors, and suddenly applications start displaying errors that they cannot access the the root drive.
After a reboot the SSD loses all the partition info along with the data on it, and it wont boot, while the BIOS flashes the "disk boot failure - insert system disk" error.
After inserting the system disk, and doing a clean install, it works perfectly, and passes all Diagnostic Checks for the next 20-30 days until it does that AGAIN!
After that, the SMART LBA written data count resets to about 1.5TB.
The worst part is that i cant take it to a RMA because it wont display any errors when they do their diagnostics, otherwise i would replace it for the same model immediately.
Any suggestions?
