Sanxer Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 This service is conflicting with Safe Hardware Removal service. This happens under Windows 8, don't know if on other OS is the same. Stopping the service, everything works fine again. I tried even Unlocker 1.9.1 application to discover what was blocking me from safely removing any drive type. I discovered this by stopping services manually. My Corsair Link 2 Device(H80i) Infos are attached as a Screenshot, also took a screencast showasing the problem. http://i.videobam.com/opLAm.jpg Till the problem is solved I've decided to remove the service, or maybe I will script something to stop the service whenever I need to remove a Disk, still this is an annoying problem. So what I want to know, is what happens to my Fans behaviour if I stop the service. Does FANS RPM increase automatically if temperature rises, does last behaviour setup for the fans(currently set to Custom with my custom graph) get hard coded to the Corsair H80i Device so I can stop the service safely ? Or does the Device uses a default profile if the Sierra2Service gets shutdown or not installed at all ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeros and ones Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Windows 8 is not support by corsair for this product at this time. However if you find a fix... do not hesitate to post it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanxer Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 At the moment no solutions, I'm doing some tests to try to make things better. I've had other system errors and attempt to restart the system because Sierra APP Crashed. Still I would appreciate that Corsair would put the right effort in supporting Windows 8, times are evolving and we cannot wallow in supporting only XP and 7, because the OS development goes on.

robandcathy Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Have you tried windows 7 compatibility mode? works for some. Otherwise no telling when any of the issues will get fixd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanxer Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Have you tried windows 7 compatibility mode? works for some. Otherwise no telling when any of the issues will get fixd. No, Compatibility mode doesn't change the situation. Checking Event Viewer you get a Kernel PnP(PlugNPlay) warning like this: The application \Device\HarddiskVolume4\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CorsairLink 2\SierraService.exe with process id 796 stopped the removal or ejection for the device USB....

Johnzhao Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I got the same issue here. Any update solutions? PS: I'm using Win7 64bit and AX1200I, and tried different usb headers and usb ports. But I still cannot safely removed any usb devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 You can create a .bat file to stop the service and another to start the service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creating a .bat file isn't a way I expected, because it is so unconvenience. I wonder if there is a better solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinnEire Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Same thing for me. If I stop the service I can eject USB drives but if not they often cannot be and SierraService.exe through Corsair Link 2 (latest version) is the culprit. See bellow. Can this be fixed please?? :sigh!: The application \Device\HarddiskVolume2\Program Files (x86)\Corsair\CorsairLink 2\SierraService.exe with process id 2760 stopped the removal or ejection for the device USB\VID_1058&PID_070A\575835314331304B34333535.

garryrw Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 This is not only a windows 8 problem this is happening to me in windows 7 aswell,originally I had my H80i running with windows 8 getting this exact problem with the Safe Remove Drive Feature and the only way to fix the problem was to shutdown the Sierra2Service in task manager everytime I wanted to disconnect a harddrive,which is to much drama,so I then went and installed windows 7 thinking the problem should go away but turned out even windows 7 has this same problem with the Safe Remove Drive Feature. I tried asking corsair for some help on these forums regarding my problems with windows 7 and windows 8 and I didn't get any replies,the only reply I got was that I should make a batch files to make it easier to shut down the Sierra2Service every time I want to shut down a drive. Look this is not good enough,I mean it is bad enough not having the H80i work with windows 8 when corsair released the H80i,windows 8 must of been released for about 6 months before the H80i even come to the market so corsair had plenty of time. But what bugs me the most is the fact that this Safe Remove Drive Feature problem is still happening in windows 7,now windows 7 is how old must be 4 years old by now,corsair should of had full compatibility with at least windows 7 before they released the H80i,surely they test things like this before releasing things to the market. As it is I am running the H80i without the software,because with the link 2 software running it's not worth the hastle you have to go through. I have used corsair parts for years,most of the parts in my pc are corsair,ram,psu,ssd H80i etc,everytime I build a pc for someone I always use corsair wherever I can. But this sort of crap really turns me of the brand,basically a unusable H80i with not even windows 7 support out of the box,maybe I need to go back to windows xp or windows millennium to get the software to work.

wytnyt Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 as im sure you have already heard they are working on the software to fix these issues it isnt so much as the os thats causing these problems but other software that gets released and especially newer hardware such as m/b,video cards ect.. thats causing these problems. lets say the firmware makes everything work good,tomorrow a new m/b gets released and sold,then bam another unique problem pops up. people blame corsair where in many cases it isnt at fault i have an 80 and 100 cooler with link and have no issues,but why,,its the same stuff as others have see what i mean?

Yeah but my Intel Z77 motherboard all the other parts that my pc including windows 7 was made up from were all released way before this H80i was released,so that shouldn't be an issue,and all my parts are known brands,Asus Z77 motherboard,intel 3770k,corsair ram,corsair ssd,corsair 1200w gold psu corsair H80i,nvidia gpu.
