krazyatom Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have been using F60 about little more than 2 weeks now. Since this is my first SSD, I was fascinated by the speed boost. I did see little bit of performance decrease compared to very first shot i took from ATTO. I did have a bio not recognize boot disk once. I was downloading like 10gb, so I didn't shut down my computer. I came back and I had BSOD and bio couldn't find boot disk. I had to restart to fix it. After bio recognized boot disk and window 7 said it caused BSOD. I thought my F60 was perfectly fine, but maybe mine is also affected :( I'll give another week to try and deicde if I should keep this or not.

Synbios Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Not maybe, it definitely is. The drive itself is not affected but your hardware configuration is. Do not use the disk until the firmware update is out. It's far too unstable IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyatom Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yea.. I guess we have to wait for new firmware or get other brand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bo0ork Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I ended up shelving my F40. It's unusable. Getting a competing brand instead, one that has a reputation for stability. Because I care about my data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkk Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I'm in the same situation as the original poster. Performance is impressive and I can usually get by with turning off my system every day. On the other hand I'm presently a bit down after seeing how running with TRIM off doesn't help much, but only prolongs the time before the drive starts to act up. Will probably keep waiting but I'll consider checking with the vendor for a possibility to "upgrade" my purchase to some other sandforce based drive. If I were less experienced I might have assumed that Corsair weren't shipping these drives for the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you disable hiberation and sleep mode? Leave your computer on before you go to sleep and let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Also, blister, would you mind filling out your PC specs in a little more detail? I'd like to know your exact config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blister Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Did you disable hiberation and sleep mode? Leave your computer on before you go to sleep and let us know. off and off, both of those store/write to the ssd (i think?) so they are turned off. only thing that 'sleeps' are the monitors, not the rig itself. i took a snapshot using crystaldisk and would like to know if it looks good to you guys. thank you. http://i51.tinypic.com/2q381nb.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synbios Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Thanks for the extra info. Perhaps Corsair has a more detailed account on the hardware configs that were affected, but from what I've seen most of the problems arise on newer i7 based chipsets (perhaps has something to do with the involved controller?). Interested to see that you're running a core2quad. Most if not all of the reports have been on 64bit systems, if I recall correctly there was a guy in the main thread saying that he was unaffected on a x86 system. You're still running 64bit but its an older model so again that points in the direction of the involved drive controllers for the chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazyatom Posted September 23, 2010 Author Share Posted September 23, 2010 I have core 2 duo E8400 with X48 Intel board. I am currently using window 7 ultimate. @Blister Which os do you have and can you take a pic for atto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blister Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 ok ya i'm running 7 ultimate 64bit here is domo ari atto :p but ... i'm thinking the results are a lil low because my mobo has SATA 3Gb only, instead of 6Gb ? http://i54.tinypic.com/25s0ho9.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted September 23, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted September 23, 2010 Your performance is fine while its a little low its not bad and since its the BOOT drive more then likely its just the over head from the O.S.

ttf Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I think you're the first person to come to the forums and report this from what I've seen..:biggrin: Well let me jump in as the second one...:biggrin: Running a Corsair F60 for about 3 weeks now, no glitches, not a single BSOD. Intel i7 920@ 2.67 GHz on a Gigabyte EX58UDP4, 6GB DDR3, Wind 7 64 Bit, AHCI mode. Hibernation disabled. The disk was partitioned by Windows during the install, so it carries the Windows 100MB partition and the c-drive, solely for the operating system and programs.

I didnt have any problem so far as ppl say, well actually it is up for like 5 days, but I didnt close my computer even one time. I have been using this SSD for like a month now. http://img358.yukle.tc/images/1874atto.jpg http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/8785/corsairf60win.jpg I think performance is as advertised, I hope I will not have problems as ppl do :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blister Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 my bios is updated as far as it will go but i still can't choose AHCI, it's not there in bios at all. i wonder how that affects my results/benches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
