Anatomy of a OCZ SSD smoked drive.

[yngndrw]

That is a really great piece of advice.

If I am correct, Computurd has had these drives for over a year running, testing, benching, just fine. The first power up on a new PSU and snap, crackle, pop. I will also say that he is the very first person to ever present me with a fried SSD, out of 200,000+ Indilinx drives, nobody has ever come to OCZ with a fried one, I am 100% sure the SSD did not cause this and so were my superiors.

It doesn't matter if you're 1,000,000% sure - As the drives have not been inspected by OCZ you cannot prove that the drives are not at fault. No statistics alone can prove this.

On the other hand, I don't buy Silverstone's conclusion - How could a SSD burn out other SSDs in the chain ? Especially since the power supply should (And as shown in the tests, does.) protect against overvoltage ?

It would be nice to see more power supply tests, showing what happens in the case of multiple simultaneous shorts of multiple rails - Maybe it is related to some kind of logic design error in the protection system.
