robsonmafra Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I am having problems with the SSD Force GS 240 - 5.05A. It's much more slow than my previous HD. I have a Macbook PRO (Early 2011), i5, 2.3 GHz, 8GB RAM, Boot ROOM Version MBP81.0047.B27. I have tried: 1 - Clean install OS Mavericks (Format the SSD) 2 - Clean install Again the OS Mavericks (Format the SSD) 3 - Clean install OS Mountain Lion (Format the SSD) 4 - Reset the PRAM, VNRAM, etc 5 - I check with "SSD Toolbox" in a Windows PC and it says it's ok and 5.05A is the last firmware version. Is there a way to check if the SSD has a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Signs of an SSD being faulty would be; drive is dropping out, not being detected on boot, corrupt files and slow performance, etc. I'm not sure if ATTO can run a benchmark of the SSD since its in a different file system. I'd try it first. If it doesn't work. You can secure erase the SSD and reinstall Mavericks and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsonmafra Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I think ATTO doesn't have a OSX version. I will try another benchmark tool. You mentioned about erase and reinstall, I have already done 3 times (2x reinstalling Mavericks and 1x Mountain Lion), and the problem persist, very slow and I have also frequently 5~10 seconds freezing.

robsonmafra Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I opened now a support ticket. I will wait Corsair's answer. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaliszon Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 I have exactly same situation with the OSX 10.9 on MBP late 2012 and the Force 3 240. After 16 month of perfect work 3 days ago drive became "zombie". It is visible for system, but when I try to reinstall system on it I received info that drive is corrupted. More over - this drive is working perfectly as the external disk (on FireWire/USB3), but when I put it back to MBP – again info about corrupted disk. There is no problem with other drives that I use as the replacement. Very strange behavior. I sent mine to service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
