Right guys, a bit of an update on this.
I decided to update my HDD with a spanking Kingston SSD in 64GB flavour. This has ran quickly, quietly and faultlessly since June last year.....up to now
Went to turn the computer on this morning and was met with the dreaded white screen complete with flashing folder / question mark. Not again I thought?!
Have been straight on to ebuyer and they've said that I can return it to them for testing. If it's a fault with the SSD then they'll replace it under warranty. One thing they did mention was that as I can see the drive when connected via usb to Susan's Windows7 laptop (albeit via disk utility rather than windows explorer), it may indicate that it's not the SSD at fault but my laptop.
Can anyone confirm a way of telling whether it's the SSD or my MacBook that's screwed? I'd rather know before sending it to ebuyer if possible.
Cheers
Ian
