HDD GURU FORUMS

OCZ Arc 100 ssd 240gb with 1.01 firmware.

This ssd drive appears to be working in read only mode.
I have tried connecting it to various motherboards using both ahci and ide modes.
Drive is correctly seen by the bios but causes very slow boot (if at all).
I had to connect power after system boot to access data.
All data was easily retrieved.

I am asking if this drive can be fixed or is it just trash?

try to RE-FLASH the FW and see how it goes.

Note: Backup your files 1st.

Could we see a SMART report?
