Very interesting failure rate statistics

Re: Very interesting failure rate statistics

OCZ solid state drives do suck, though.

Somewhere there's a photo of 4-6 OCZ SSDs with circuit boards that are mostly charred. The owner sent them back to OCZ and the power supply back to Corsair. Corsair gave him a test report full of measurements and even photos but OCZ refused to even examine their SSDs.

They [MSI] have a Windows utility for updating MSI BIOS now thankfully.

That's 1 of the 2 update methods that the MSI forum moderators warned against using, the other being the one built into the BIOS (M-Flash). Apparently the closet thing to anything safe is flashing from DOS, and even then you have to use only a USB flash stick.

Never had any problems with the Windows utility. I don't care what the forum moderators say but if they advertise the tool and make it available for download it should be usable, and in my past experiences with MSI it has worked just fine.
