Hmm, that's interesting and worrying at the same time. I had no idea NZXT did that, I thought the V2s (and the vast majority of NZXT) were Seasonic quality. So before the SSD I need to upgrade the power supply asap. Could you recommend one? Maybe a Be quiet Pure Power 11 850w? Seasonic Focus GX...

I've been testing the motherboard for several hours with the correct cables and a hard drive I have and haven't had any problems, so fortunately the motherboard seems to be fine! Ok, I have no choice but to order a new SSD soon. I don't want to risk other components by testing the damaged SSD...

It's good to know that there is a chance that it's ok, but I've contacted Kingston and the seller anyway to try to get a replacement SSD, due to it is a new drive. If they can't give me a replacement I will try to take it apart to look at it internally and post pics of it. Thank you

I bought it from a big computer store in Argentina (one of the biggest) Yes, when I received it (February 1 st), I saw that all the basic SMART values was 0, and I used it around 12 hours a day since then. But yesterday, when I used the -x parameter of smartctl (I didn't know of its...

What about the rest? Do you think they are just some random records?

Hi all, I recently bought a Seagate Ironwolf ST3000VN007, and I received it on February 1st. I watched the smart with CrystalDiskInfo (Windows) and Smartmontools (Linux) and every values looked good (no reallocated sectors, no power-on hours). But today I'm discovered the "-x" parameter of...
