Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I have a Corsair SSD Force 3 120go is serial number is 12296502000013410861 and reference CSSD-F120GB3-BK

 

I bought September 16 2012.

 

I have a lot's of reading errors and the system is very slow

 

What should I do?

 

Good day.

First of all, put it on another computer, and use a program like HDDScan-3.3 to confirm that your drive is actually reporting read errors.

 

If it is reporting read errors, You have 2 options I see:

 

a) You can get it exchanged, either through your retailer, or via direct RMA to corsair. There is a link called RMA Request on the left bar of the forum website.

b) You can attempt to secure erase it, update to the latest firmware, and see if the problems reoccur or return. There may simply be an error in the data allocation structures used to map your data to the NAND, which a secure erase will erase. (starting again from scratch)

 

Furthermore, I strongly encourage you to edit your OP post and remove the Serial Number from it. You need to keep it private and only reveal it to corsair during the return process

It's not a unique identifier, no reason not to post it (not that it's needed for troubleshooting or anything).

Foliane, have you tried what canthearu recommended? I see that you posted the exact same thing on Facebook. Please note that no one from tech support posts on our Facebook account, so the Facebook team will only tell you to create a ticket.
