This has to be advertisement :) went to the vertex 3 page on newegg. there was at least 5 reviews on the very first page about it dying from 0 to 24h. my cheap SSD on my 3yr old eeepc1000 is still kicking. it's now serving games to my wii via a $5 enclosure that does NOT need external power. and the eeepc has a bigger and faster one that's also working for 1yr+ ...too bad asus used a mini e-pci interface that is as odd as records you listened when you were 15.
