OCZ Drives bad for RAID?

Hi all,

 

I have been wondering about this for ages. And I have posted something about this topic before hand about SSD's dying. But I was wondering if anyone has any idea if OCZ drives are bad for RAID or I just have the worst luck in the history of the world. 

 

So here's my story:

First I had 2x OCZ Vector 128GB SSD's in RAID 0 on my Gigabyte X79-UD3 motherboard, and after about 3 months they both died, at practically the exact same time. So at first I thought my SATA ports were screwed so I bought a new motherboard (my motherboard was a bit screwed anyway with the front USB so it wasn't too bad anyway) I bought the AsRock X79 Extreme 3 motherboard and I got warranty on my SSD's and got 2 more brand new. And again I put them in RAID 0 and then again 1 of my SSD's has died at about 3 months of use. I know it can't of been the motherboard, because I have tried 2 now.

 

Are OCZ bad for RAID 0? Or am I just the unluckiest guy in the world?

 

Thanks in advance for all answers :)

You've probably just been unlucky, RAID shouldn't degrade the drives.

I know it has some reliablity issues using RAID 0 because of data going to different drives. But I might just try a different brand. I don't want to keep sending them back. I was looking around before. Someone said they have had 4 of them die on them, so I'm not the only one at least.

I have two OCZ Agility 3's in Raid 0, since early Oct. 2012. Did have a SATA driver issue which had me thinking the OCZ drives were going bad but they were fine after I figured out the driver issue and they are still running fine.

I roll with sigs off so I have no idea what you're advertising.

 

This is NOT the signature you are looking for.

ah ok. I don't think mine was a driver issue because I have tried it it my mates PC and still wasn't detected in the BIOS.
