smorrissey Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Hi, i was working pretty fine for 3 months with my raid 0 array with a seagate 1TB HD and a SSD Corsair 60GB Force 3 series, yesterday i uninstalled a big piece of sofwate (the old republic 14GB) make a register clean with cc cleaner, went outside and when i came back home turned off the PC and windows didn't boot. :eek: I had to reinstall everything from 0, what happened? can't i trust a SSD anylonger? My Asus mobo bios is updated and a few hours ago i upgraded the SSD firmware from 1.3.3 to latest version 5.02 im using intel smart techonology latest version 10.8.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 25, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 25, 2012 Please use Parted Magic and Secure erase the drive then I would up date to the latest Firmware and run the setup again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 A Secure erase will permanently delete all the data on the SSD. By setup, It would be mean re-configure the SRT settings. If you cannot boot into Windows and you have important data on the HD, Plug it into another computer and copy your data to a drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted July 26, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted July 26, 2012 It will bring the SSD back to its virgin state and restore it performance to factory levels. So it will delete any data that is on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorrissey Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 i've already done all from above. Windows 7 still hangs from time to time, i mean i blame the sandforce driver IMO it can't be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 It might be SRT as well, I'd contact Intel Support and ask them if they know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smorrissey Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 Could be but here the one with the bad reputation is the sand force controller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 13, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 13, 2012 We can try and replace the drive if you like, please use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can try and replace it. But from what you have posted it sounds like it might be some other issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it did it again today after a few weeks of working fine, yetersted i uninstalled swtor (20GB), and a few minutes ago i tried to close windows 7, it didn't close, turn the power button off, then on, then appear intel cache reconstructing then windows 7 didn't logged in..... i blame the SSD 100% i could be wrong but if i have to bet i blame the ssd firmware.:[pouts: I can't trust an ssd like this. I was using it in order to accelerate my HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted August 31, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted August 31, 2012 Before you do that I would just install the O.S. on the 60 Gig SSD by it self and see if its more stable assuming that you have the latest Firmware on the drive Version 5.03.
