M225->Vertex Turbo 64GB Update: Drive is Dead EDIT: Maybe Not...see end of post!

Came in to work this morning to ASU error. Drive can no longer be seen by OS (W7 or XP). Red LED(s) are on inside inside drive case FWIW. Took a screenshot before I rebooted to see if it helped...

Bank 7 has 9 bad Blocks.

I'll boot back in to W7 to see if there are any errors in the event viewer or anything, but like the others, it looks like it just died without too much warning.

R.I.P. M225

EDIT: So I rebooted back in to W7 to check logs, but nothing really telling. AHCI BIOS paused for about 15-20 seconds on that port trying before finding nothing and continuing and drive still not recognized in OS. So I figured what the hell and unplugged drive while still in W7, waited a few seconds, and plug it back in and.....

What do you know, drive is recognized and accessable. WTF, I guess I spoke to soon. Well, we'll see as I'm running MD5 on Static Data right now. I'll post back in a bit when it's done.
