OCZ Agility SSD is dying?

I have a OCZ Agility 60GB as my boot, program files and user drive with a SAMSUNG 1TB as my secondary “data” storage

Two or three times in the last few months, right after the OS loads and before the user prompt … the chdsk utility has run automatically finding and fixing disk errors …

Two days ago, I had this issue:
  • My machine would boot, allow me to login then immediately freeze (before showing the desktop).
  • I had to boot into safe mode, run the Windows System File Checker tool (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929833) to recover lost system files and registry entries ... a lot of registry entries. (I am pretty sure this is why I couldn't log in).
  • Once I could login, I ran chkdsk and it reported file system issues .. which I then fixed (see below)
  • I installed and ran both CrystalDiskInfo and Hard DiskSentinel. The “Total Count of Error Bits (CA) and Total Count of Read Sectors with Correctable Bit Errors (CB) seem high but I don’t know if they really correlate to anything.
  • There are entries in the event log but to do running the chkdsk utility; nothing leading me to a cause.
Today I had the regular chkdsk at startup

I can’t think of anything that will be causing this type of problem except a defective SSD/hard drive.

Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
