phaduman Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 WHen I bought hte F120 for my lenovo T61 laptop, it had 1.1 I think and showed multiple health errors like bad sectors, life 96% etc, on the HD Tune Pro. But the fresh install of Win7 went fine and I could do all tasks. I then updated to 2.0, and most all health errors are gone, except one. On the Tune Pro's Health tab, the 1st row ((01)RAW Read Error Rate) and the few lines below ((C3) Hardware ECC recovered) are showing lots of bad numbers, but identical matching numbers. Attached is a screenshot. I am worried if these read errors are real, OR, just firmware 2.0 reporting issue. As I have a 1-week window to return to store, I would like to get this clarified. BTW, this is not a speed-freak computer (C2D 2.0, AHCI mode, 2GB mem:, I am getting about identical 100MBps read/write). thanks and best regards PN, San Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 16, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 16, 2010 This Topic has been talked about many times on the forum, it is Data that is not being read properly as it has not been enabled in the drives firmware.

phaduman Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Thank you RAM GUY for hte quick reply. I did actually read that thread and made sense for me to drop my concerns level down. But, I was specifically looking for READ/ECC errors in the entire forum and search didnt find anything there, so I wanted to be double sure. Understood that these parameters also fall under the 'SMART' implementation issues (perhaps by SandForce chipset). cheers PN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted November 16, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted November 16, 2010 We are looking at what can done in the future but at this time there are subtle difference in the interpretation of these fields between the different controllers when using these applications and some applications may read properly and some may not. However as discussed in that post officially we are not claiming any compatibility with any of these applications at this time. Bottom line: as long as your drive or drives are performing properly there no need to be concerned with that information reported by these applications on the drive health or status.
