Never kept critical items on it, so it wasn't backed up

:( wrong Item

The item just went dead

I have started a return through Amazon since it was still within the 30 day period for defective items.

I often think the people writing these reviews must simply be using the item incorrectly or have otherwise broken it somehow

When my computer would not boot from the SSD, I submitted an e-mail support request on the SanDisk Web site.
