Hi,
my 1TB SSD from OWC just died completely. Exactly 3 years and 2 months old. Was running in a Mac Mini.
I lost all the data. It is Mercury Electra 6G SSD. It was not heavily used, has no burned smell or something. Just did not start anymore.
I complained with OWC and they told me it has a 3 year warranty and I am 2 months over that and out of luck. And they said also that "The SSD lifespan reached its limit".
I find that really ridiculous. Doe they have it programmed to fail right after the warranty?
I tried all revival methods I cold think of, but the SSD does not show up in the finder and neither in the disk utility.
Took it out of the Mac Mini and tried it also on 2 other iMacs. No luck.
Does anyone of you have a similar experience?
Or do you have any idea how to get this thing running again?
