Hardware reset kills SSD drives?

[John Doe]

I posted this before after apparently killing an OCZ SSD simply by
pressing the reset button. Seems to have just happened again with my
Intel SSD. I don't see anything on the Internet about it, though.

Solved (hopefully).

An installation of windows messed up the SSD. No matter which channel
the SSD was connected to, it froze before the BIOS screen (with a
cursor in the left upper corner). In order to boot with the SSD
connected, the BIOS setting AHCI had to be disabled. Apparently, the
installation of windows did something to the SSD. So… Used Macrium
Reflect to restore the most recent copy of Windows 8. Shut down,
changed the BIOS back to enable AHCI, and successfully booted into the
restored copy of Windows 8.

All this is an attempt to get rid of a persistent crippling bug to do
with Windows Speech Recognition. I'm probably going to buy a copy of
Dragon Naturally Speaking 12 and go with that, instead. I paid $40.00
for Windows 8, I got what I paid for.

Then SS drives do not mysterious die a most depreciating death upon
ignobly being reset. Whew...thanks, JD. I'd begin to think along
terms of not washing, pissing in the river, and riding a broomstick
straight into the scourge of the Black Death.

If you spoke English, Flasher, I might ask you to explain why
installing Windows 7 nukes my SSD so that the system won't even
get to the BIOS no matter what channel the SSD is connected to,
until the SSD is removed and the BIOS setting AHCI is disabled.

Nice to know that with my old MBs running a SSD, as far as I'm aware,
likely without a hint of AHCI, I should be sure never to consider
pushing the reset, which will disable the BIOS and render a Samsung
SSD inoperable. ...After installing W7, and then W8, but of course.
And I personally wouldn't trouble myself with how I express myself
while I find you entertaining.

So, you are *for* SSD's over traditional mechanical rotating platter HDs, as long as you don't push the 'reset' button and you use Windows 7, is that it? Thanks for the advice.

Been at the mechanical translators, I see. Almost there. Please, may
I...

"[...]W7 [-&- &then- update to W8 for further resolution], is that
it?"

& etc...

I personally wouldn't trouble myself with the risk of breaking any
code or heating the CPU on my account [by what élan others indeed have
tried, only then to fail, I can assure you, and all so many over too
many times, unsuccessfully to impart into what mere words cannot fully
encapsulate, for such spirits of an allusion verily to attempt no
finer feats fit to tickle my dearly precious fickle finesse].

If the system is UEFI you may be dealing with a SecureBoot issue. You
can disable that in UEFI to upgrade from Win 8 to Win 7.

Sounds like a very good lead.
