I have one and it worked really well for 1.5 years.

Now, I can't tell if it's bit rot in Windows 7, or if it's the SSD going out slowly:
Most of the time, everything is fine and speedy.
Sometimes, the whole system slows to a crawl in really odd places (eg, Thunderbird quits responding for ~5 minutes or Browsing c:\crap and the folder "quits responding").

Nothing seems amiss in the event viewer....

A reboot usually fixes it for a while, but I am beginning to think it's time to replace the SSD.
Is there any way to tell its health (Intel has a nice utility for their drives, but Kingston doesn't seem to have one)?

@thormj: I also have a kingston ssd drive that I'm not sure if it is failing or it is something else. Their RMA on drives is really pretty crappy. A majority of people I talked to said they try and repair your drive and if it breaks, they will not exchange it for a new one. Pretty terrible RMA policy.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
