OCZ SSD Failure - Any suggestions or tools to attempt to fix it with?

Its only a 30GB SSD and so I should probably just destroy it and get a new one for around $50 of larger capacity, but figured I'd give it a try here to see if anyone can point out a cure for it or not.

Mounted the SSD through external drive duplicator that also functions as a temp external drive bay. So the USB info you might pick up on in properties of the youtube video is because its mounted as an external.

Using it as an external drive is of little value.  Awkward and messy without an enclosure.  (I do it,but I doubt you would.)  ;D
Just put tit into you junk box and within a  year you will either find some use for it or else give it away.  :-\

Well its only connected as an external because its convenient vs opening my system up that only has 2 x SATA ports and removing one of my drives. With games and everything else installed among 2 drives, its best not to mess with removing one of them when they work together as a pair. Connected external is not a permanent solution, its only to be able to communicate with the troubled SSD. Hoping not to toss it into junk box and I dont give away anything thats broken so if I cant find a fix for it then it will be smashed destroying the PCB with chips with data on them and thrown away.  :-\

Sounds like it has lived it's useful life.

Likely the MLC NAND has failed.

Yes I'm thinking its toast.. The OCZ Tools dont detect it even when making sure its the tool for the Agility. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227460

Thinking I'm gonna snap it in half by use of a vice and hammer and put it in recycle.
