• OCZ steps up the game, adds one extra year of SSD warranty

  

  
  I've always been a bit skeptical about the reliability of SSDs, even in this day and age. However, "after extended performance in the field and extensive testing", OCZ recently showed some silicon balls and added an extra year to the two-year warranty of their premium Vertex Series and Summit Series SSDs. Hell, they even offered this generous extension to current owners.
  
  Also, according to HKEPC.com, OCZ responded to the unofficial Core Series Version 2 SSD firmware circulated around the Internet, claiming that some owners have managed to permanently damage their SSDs with them, and OCZ will not service such damages. Owners should get their goodies from OCZ's drivers page instead: http://www.ocztechnology.com/drivers/
  
  Still, we are no closer to the utopia where SSDs are actually affordable by the mass.
