Engmod Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Guys, 7 days with 2 boots per day and all going well. I recommend that everybody with problems looks for a bios upgrade, it looks to be the fix. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engmod Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Bad news this time. Been testing for one month since the bios upgrade. At this point the drive disappears about once a week. To get it back I have to:- do a bios reset, or remove the power plug (from the drive) and replug WITH the power on. I have trawled the motherboard forums for any defects to do with the R series and I have found none. I have trawled any ICH10 related problems and cannot find any that relate to an R120 At this point I believe I have a defective product. Over to you guys.

Yellowbeard Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Try the new firmware in the SSD Firmware section. Also, the Gigabyte F7x beta BIOS is supposed to correct issues with the SandForce drives. You may want to try it if the 2.0 firmware does not resolve your issue.

Engmod Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Yellowbeard, I have a reactor series drive with a Jmicron 612 controller. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 4, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 4, 2010 I would suggest the latest BETA BIOS from Gigabyte, I think the problem was noted with a sandforce controller but can have issues with any SSD drive.

Engmod Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have F7x installed, but no change to the 1 week drop. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 4, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 4, 2010 You would need to check with Gigabyte and get the BIOS from them its not on the formal web site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engmod Posted November 4, 2010 Author Share Posted November 4, 2010 I have checked http://www.station-drivers.com/page/gigabyte/ga-x58a-ud7.htm for the latest bios. Only a Sandforce issue has been mentioned. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engmod Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Hi Wired, I downloaded the FB5 bios, but it would not apply saying its the wrong type. I have a rev 1 copper, and the FB5 must be for rev 2 copper. So I have the latest bios. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 5, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 5, 2010 I would suggest you contact the MB maker for help with their BIOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Engmod Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 I have done that, they say there are no outstanding problems with the Jmicron 612 controller. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engmod Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 F8c is looking ok, but my problem is that the Corsair reactor SSD will run ok for a week or so, then disappear. So only time will tell. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 12, 2010 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 12, 2010 Okay thank you for the information, please do let me know how it works out.

Engmod Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Download the F8d bios again, and applied it, worked after a bios reset. 3 reboots so far. Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
