Let's count Newegg customer reviews of current SSDs - Who will help?

I'd like to know the reliability rates for every current SSD. We've already done this quick and dirty but now I'd like to do it properly. I invite you all to help.

Here's my suggestion:
-first post which product you're going to count before you count it. This way we prevent doing the work double.
-when posting the result mention the following:
1. product name
2. link to Newegg product page
3. total number of reviews
4. number of failures.

How to count failures.
In essence a failed product is a product that doesn't work.
Include:

• Dead on arrival (product didn't work in the first place)
• failures (product worked but then failed)
• unsolvable critical errors (BSOD, not detected, etc.)
• 'I ordered two, both failed' counts as two failures

Do not include:

• speed issues (unless they're extreme speed issues)
• complaints about firmware update software (update didn't work but drive is working)
• complaints about 25nm NAND
• problems at first but then solved it
• 'my SSD makes noises'
• SMART reading says errors but the drive may still be working like normal

Some things to watch for:
-not every failure is in the 1 star category. Also look for the other star ratings.
-let's only count 2.5" drives for now

Preliminary Results:
Crucial C300 64GB 7/284 = 2.46%
Samsung 470 series 3/109 = 2.75%
Intel X25m (G2) 80GB 27/699 = 3.86%
OCZ Vertex 2 range 211/1109 = 19.0%

Newly released products:
Intel 320 0/29 = 0%
Intel 510 4/56
Vertex 3 2/47

Great

Let me know if you have any doubts about how to count. That way we can make sure everybody counts the same.

 

Love to see that though for a potential buyer, would the time relevancy skew the result ? Take the SF as an example, there was quite a number of failure that has already been fixed by latest firmware. So for a new buyer, using the old reported case is not a true picture(and may be a bit unfair to new SF drive with new firmware).

 

Yes this is definitely a problem but it's hard to do something about it.

Edit: for popular products like Vertex 2 60GB and 120GB we could include a rating for the last 6 months.

I suggest we count 'drive not being detected' as a failure (unless it was solved). Harsh for the manufacturer but reality for the consumer.

 

Phil maybe you can update your OP so that you can put a "check mark" next to the ones that have already been counted?

Or maybe even post the results in the OP itself?

Mr. Mysterious

 

Good idea. I've put the SSD that still need counting in the list:
SSD reviews still to count

The results are mentioned in the OP.

Thanks for your suggestions.

 

I`m done. So tired. Did my part. Don`t want to look at newegg ever again.

 

Thanks man. I feel I'm done too.

The OCZ Vertex 2 range has 211 failures in 1109 reviews. A whopping 19.0%.
