There is a known fault on OCZ Vertex 2 hard drives.
Model numbers:
- OCZSSD2-2VTXE240G
- OCZSSD2-2VTXE480G
- OCZSSD2-2VTX80G
- OCZSSD2-2VTXE180G
- OCZSSD2-2VTXE60G
- OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G
- OCZSSD2-2VTX160G
Failure Symptoms: These drives are almost always found in laptop computers. The known problem commonly occurs when the lid of the laptop computer is closed - putting the laptop into sleep mode. When the laptop lid is next opened the computer should wake up and start functioning as normal. It doesn't - the drive is no longer recognised and can not be detected. There are no noises coming from the drive.
Data Recovery: It is currently not possible to recover the data on these drives - a big reason being that the data is encrypted on the drive and no data mapping or decryption algorithm exist.
