Ruiz107 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hi guys, I bought this ssd 4 months ago: http://www.corsair.com/ssd/performance-3-series-ssd.html It worked fine until 2 days ago when my pc crashed to a bsod while playing a game. After the restart it refused to boot with the error "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME". Ok tried to use the windows 7 restore, but funny it stalled during the initial screen of the system restore, probably when trying to identify hard drives. Also, i couldn't reinstall windows due to the same problem, so i grabbed a copy of hiren's boot cd and managed to delete all partitions on ths ssd. After that, i could reinstall windows. It all went fine, but really slow. After it was all finished i installed all drivers then checked my ssd performance and it was REALLY poor: http://s9.postimage.org/byv8rb373/ssd.png My other hard drive (old 320gb) is doing fine: http://s11.postimage.org/5phsss9eb/Untitled_1.png What could be the problem here? And how do i fix it? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleupomme Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello, I have this drive too. It's not very reliable. I would recommend doing an image with clonezilla (free) or Acronis (not free). Fill the drive with once with zeroes (lots of ways to do this like http://www.dban.org/). Restore the image. That should do the trick. I have to do it every 2 months so I recommend taking regularly images of the drive. Manu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Run a secure erase on the drive (yes this ERASES the drive and all of your data). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruiz107 Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Hello, I have this drive too. It's not very reliable. Yeah i said in my message "it worked fine for 4 months" but actually, i had to reinstall windows 2 times already due to data corruption... That's... yeah ... not reliable to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomatthe Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I sent mine in for similar issues, and ended up with a refurb, so I would think very hard before starting the RMA process if you are thinking of doing that. My drive was less then 2 months old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeven Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 My P3 works fine. I`ve got some issues with restarts but its seldom and problem free. This disc run the 5 month by now. If you read some of the P3 issues/ problems listed in the forum, they all start to crash within 5-6 month. How many got P3 that have no problem?? Again I ask for a FW release. Is a lack of comprehension for customers that have choose the product and got problems. Too bad and too easy to ignore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
