Lump Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 So i have had my F60 drive for just over a week now. It had been working totaly fine untill yesterday. I woke the pc up from sleep after about 5-6 sec the mouse froze then i got BSOD (as alot of other ppl have been getting from reading the forum) but now the drive is not being seen in the BIOS. I have also tried it on 2 other PC's i have here and none are seeing the drive. What can i do next from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synbios Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Put the drive back into where it was originally. If your PSU has a switch turn it off then unplug the power cord to the computer, wait about 15 seconds and plug it back in and turn it on, your drive should be detected.

xgman Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 From my own experience and what I've read along the way, it is clear to me that SSD's have a large failure rate especially when compared to regular drives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Large? No. Higher than HDDs? Maybe. HDDs are old technology, so the kinks are largely worked out. SSDs are still in their infancy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimbrady Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I'm sure a good 10-15%, if not more, of the "failures" that are returned were just fine but needed enhanced installation steps to have them work for the intended purpose. I know I was at least stumped, until I sought help on these forums, for a particular RAID configuration that was very tricky to implement. I could have easily tried that setup first and thought oh great, the drives are DOA. But anyway, I'm looking at a dead drive now(I think, lol) but it was just a couple months ago I saw a faster and more catastrophic failure from an external HDD so.....Having bought 264-260-128-128-60-32 gig drives so far with only 1 failure, that I think I may have caused anyway, I am not really concerned about the quality of ssds vs hdds....I think ssds will be much more reliable in the long run once the tech is a bit more mature.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 22, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 22, 2010 Actually the rate is much higher about 40-50 of drives returned test with NTF so we have to assume it was just a glitch or possibly the way the drives were setup; however, I think most of these are related to the system it was being used in, maybe not fully supporting SSD technology, or some other cause. But for the most part I think you have the right idea and a good out look moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
