Have tried 2 of these in 2 different new Dell computers and both randomly fail to boot (blue screen - inaccessible boot device error). In one of the Dell computers, there is 2 of these (C: and D: ) and when it does boot successfully, the D: drive might come up missing.
Takes many power down/reboot cycles before it works. I leave my PC on 24/7 so it's not a big deal until I reboot then I get real nervous!
Something is wrong with these drives, not sure what. Nextorage support is nonexistant.

sorry for your loss, but thanks for the update. Saved me from a lot of headache

Fortunately, no loss yet. The drives don't fail, they just don't initialize or something to where Windows can't find them. Ultimately, like I said, they do wind up working, it can take 20-30 minutes of rebooting, etc. Windows, due to boot failures, wants to do Windows repair but of course that isn't the fix because it's not Windows, it's the drive.
I am disappointed with the lack of response from Nextorage. Makes the 5 year warranty practically worthless.

I'd be worried storing any important data on a drive that won't always boot. I've seen some old SSD's lock and read only but others I've seen where they just completely stop booting at some point

I had that happen to me with one of my SSDs, so I just reinstalled windblouz, deleting and reformatting the drive during the install. That seems to have fixed the problem.
Good Luck
