nvtweak Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Make sure you run the application as Administrator. If you have any other drives in your system, shut down and disconnect them if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvtweak Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The tool only detects Corsair drives. And the more drives in your system, the longer it takes to detect it. Read the included PDF file for possible solutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlievoviii Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 i only have the corsair as SSD and two regular drives. I even disconnect both of the extra drives like you said. still nothing.

parsec Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have to laugh at posts like, "... my xyz123 SSD is faster than an abc890 SSD". What does "faster" mean? To attempt to combine all the many different performance aspects of a SSD into one general term like faster only shows ignorance of the reality of the situation. There has never been one SSD that is the fastest in every area of performance that matters and is measured by all the various tools and methods used to test SSDs. Then there are SSDs that have poorer results in various benchmark tools but when tested with real world scenarios perform much better than the so-called fastest SSDs. It's a shame many hardware review web sites must dumb-down their reviews by labeling one product or another the fastest or faster than another. But they must deal with the "readers" that skim the first and last page of a review, and never read it and actually learn something. Not to mention the so-called reviews that are nothing more than PR for a company, and contain nothing that will educate the reader. If a moderator is removing statements like that, good for them, since they are preventing childish nonsense from ruining their forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlievoviii Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 anyway back to my issue. why can the firmware update see my drive ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 -Are you having issues with your SSD? If not, A firmware update isn't required. -It might be the firmware utility, Since your chipset is new. If possible, try update the firmware on a different computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If possible, try update the firmware on a different computer. yes sir I do. it hangs during idle. It works fine but if i left my computer for like 10 minutes or more and come back it hangs. I was hoping to be able to update the firmware and maybe solve this issues. The weird things is that the software don't even see my Corsair Force 3 240GB. I try everything from unplugged all the extra HDD, also run as a administrator. :confused: It's not my computer issue since I have a clone of this hard drive onto another SSD, which i can't say the name or else they will delete the post. The hard drive i clone it to doesn't hang at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
