My F60 has lost everything, please action this thread ASAP

Hi guys,

 

My F60 SSD has suddenly stopped working and I can not access the partition, windows asks me if I want to format it and when I use a drive recovery software it says the partition format is FAT16. Please explain what is going on, I have several Corsair drives in various machines throughout my business, they are ALL incredibly unreliable and causing system lockups even when we have updated firmware.

 

Please tell me that my data is recoverable on this drive and how to recover it.

Hi

If u ave various machines.

Trid ure ssd in other pc to see if u can recover data

Patition can't change for ntfs to fat 16 without some one perform a format.

If it was only a kwick format expert can recover data.

But a don't now how

hope u aven't lost all ur date

But as a business u should do backup or raid 5 for miroring

 

Sincerly yours

-Force 3 or the Original Force series SSD?

-Have you tried secure erasing the SSD after updating the firmware?

 

 

Not sure, If you can get the data back since it somehow went from NTFS to FAT16.

I have never seen this problem before. Use Recuva or other data recovery software, or if the contents are very important to you, get it professionally recovered.

I also "lost" everything on my F60.

Managed to copy the files eventually with a Linux USB:
