    Spotted this on the OC3D forums Credit to Barnsley on there.

    Bad news if you want to buy/own a OCZ product. Toshiba just canceled the warranties on the majority of the products. The products that will not have their warranty honored by Toshiba are:

    ALL Non-SSD Products
    Core Series
    Apex
    Petrol
    Octane Series
    Solid Series
    Colossus Series
    IBIS
    Enyo
    Nocti
    RevoDrive Hybrid
    Summit
    Synapse
    Onyx Series
    Solid Series
    OCZ SATA I SSD (1st gen)
    OCZ SATA II SSD (1st gen)

    Notice how the majority of those products were their nasty, cheap, instakill ssds?

    You're in luck (for the time being) if you own any of the Agility series SSDs as they are under warranty until Jan 22nd 2015. This is obviously not the three year guarantee that originally came with the SSDs but it gives you enough time to change them if you are worried.

    Luckily for Vertex,Vector and Revodrive owners, Toshiba are going to continue the Warranty in full. I believe this is a good move by toshiba in the sense that those are the high end OCZ drives and also are the ones with the lower failure rate?

    So glad I don't own any OCZ products!

    I may be wrong about this (but I'm relatively confident) but if you bought these in the UK you should still have a years warranty with the store you purchased it from. You can argue under the sale of goods act that they should provide support for longer but good luck with that.

    Couldn't give a crap, my warranty is with Scan. By law they have to cover any SSD sold by themselves.

    If you live in uk warranty is covered with who you brought it from.

    Outside of the UK this does not apply.

    The only SSD I have ever brought is an OCZ agility 3 and I think it's good.
