landsome Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Today my Voyager GTR 32GB nearly died on me. I got the intermittent blue flashing and the drive letter was recognized - but the drive was inaccessible. Nothing could be recovered with the usual tools. I discovered this forum and found out about the recommended firmware upgrade. Luckily the upgrade worked and the drive is now functional, but a lot of important data was lost. However, I admit to being somewhat reluctant to use the drive again to store my work. My question is - was the problem that triggered the near-death symptoms (and the loss of data) successfully resolved by the firmware, or can I expect non-stop blue flashing and the attendant loss of data again? And secondly, does this firmware upgrade also solve the other common problem of this model - that where the drive suddenly appears as unformatted? Thanks in advance!

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted January 5, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted January 5, 2011 The firmware should resolve those issues however I would never suggest keeping data only on the flash drive; it is still a removable drive and as such has a higher chance of data loss. I would suggest you keep a copy of what ever you have on the flash drive on a system to ensure you do not lose any data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
