ukmjb Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Should the 'body' of these drives be silver, while the rest of the device is black?http://i.imgur.com/FN9Fg.jpgIs that how the device is supposed to look? On the corsair site it is all black.The drive was purchased from a reputable online seller and was a normal price, arrived in retail packaging.

Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 20, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 20, 2012 That is normal only the out side is all black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmjb Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Thanks for the reply. Given that the corsair website shows it should be black and the only reason for buying the stealth version is for purely cosmetic reasons I think this is a pretty bad idea. Why is there a discrepancy? It looks so bad with the mismatched colours. I think I'll return it out of principle and get the matching silver version. I honestly thought there was a fault when I opened it up first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 24, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 24, 2012 I just checked two of the drives we have here and they are both all black but the original sample I had was silver inside like yours. We can try and replace it under an RMA if you like as it may have been just a mistake on our side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukmjb Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 If it should actually be black then that sounds like a good option, how would I go about getting it RMA'd? Through the usual Corsair RMA request site? I know this is a small thing really but if it's a mistake or a fault then I'd like the real thing. I think Corsair is a solid brand and I have several pieces of Corsair hardware in all of my machines. I actually only purchased this Survivor drive to replace a Voyager that still works, but was recently subject to at least two trips through the washing machine by accident. I'll keep using that drive as long as it keeps working, but the whole episode left me wanting something even more solid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted October 30, 2012 Corsair Employee Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yes please either ask the reseller to replace it or use the link on the left and request an RMA and we can replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
