lakai Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Well,Rma seems to be the answer.... Two RF voyager USB sticks dead within two months (funny,the usb stick forum has only one page?). One RF force GT 115 dead after 6. Corsair CX 450,one year (replaced by a v2 :)). So the question is:if i ask for Rma,what kind of product will be send back to me?I mean RF or regular? See no offence in my post,i'm just a little bit tired... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 They usually send you a new drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incriminated Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 I am unable to follow the question at all... RF or regular? If RF mean re-furbished, than that IS the new regular. Whatever your drives are original RF so replacement with a non-RF would be illegit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakai Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 My rma is about a non-rf disk. I was just talking about my dead corsair gear... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakai Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Wow,nice RF in my letter box... The last RF corsair force died within 6 months. I bought an int.l to replace it,and the idea was to sell the corsair. But who will pay for refurbished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incriminated Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 ??? refurbished means better than original version! who will pay on the original version if refurbished versions are out ... is correct formulation! if you have to picke between a standard and refurbished... of cause you choose refurbished... because they refurbish a version because something in the design wasn't that good. refurbished doesn't mean "used" or "minor quality", if you thought that. it means refursbished product design/specification The question is: WHo pays for a 3rd Gen SandForce (bloat-spec) today at any price when he can have 4rd generation or even intel,samsung that finally DO whats on the paper :D !? The Force GT is old and slow... not compared to a HDD but to actual SSD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakai Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Old ans slow?I bought it because it was an high end ssd one year ago. Don't need to masturbate on benchmarks,just having a responsive and RELIABLE disk....That's why i'm disapointed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incriminated Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Refurbished does NOT mean new version. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refurbishment_(electronics) You are wrong. Your source even prooves it too. Of cause it means that drive-model is in newer state than the original-design. It returned RMA in early state (low write cycles done, SF-silicon in panic-lock) is repaired, tested and supplied with actual FW. Id rather like to have a RF-version than and old original one that may be out of warranty and may die for reasons which are fixed in RF-version or had been recognized in the tests and drive beeing sorted out. Old ans slow?I bought it because it was an high end ssd one year ago. Don't need to masturbate on benchmarks,just having a responsive and RELIABLE disk....That's why i'm disapointed.... Yes, old and slow. It was mid-end one year ago, compared in real-life benchmarks... not ATTO. One year is a lot of time in SSD-market, it is absolute low-end nowadays, compaired to actual Intel,Samsung,Indilynx and actual Sandforce... anything actual is faster than the old Sandforces from one year ago. :D: Just provide ASSSD or crystal-disk screenshots and i provide you with some speeds of high-end drives ;) Didn't you just said you had got a new replacement, then why are you still dissappointed?

Didn't you just said you had got a new replacement, then why are you still dissappointed? And I sell you my wonderfull refurb? I got a refurbished force 115,refurbished gt usb3 16&32go,all of this are out of order...So I leave you with your benchmarks... edit:no offence but i think you do not understand my point of view...

Toasted Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Corsair may, at its discretion, provide new or equivalent-to-new refurbished parts in good working condition, or repair or replace the hardware returned to Corsair. Any repaired or replacement hardware will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is greater, or for the period of time required by local statute. Source: http://www.corsair.com/us/support/warranty/ I would just use the refurbished drive as its been tested to be in a good working condition. If it does fail again and the warranty has not expired, contact customer service via phone/Skype and tell them your replacement drive is faulty. You can call customer service for free using Skype and their toll-free number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me conclude this! Sandforce SSDs have been pioneers in this industry & who is telling sandforce SSDs are slow? u got be be kidding here! seriously!! I dont believe it, because I am replying on this blog using one of those master pieces. I use Intel 525 & they are really fast & are amazingly reliable.

Incriminated Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 OK, you are so wise - I tell you that old sandforce are slow, not all sandforce - so lets compare my HDD with my (old) Force 3: This is the superfast - what you think - Sandforce 3rd generation in this case a Force 3 from Corsair: And this is my HDD: See the huge difference and how super-duper-fast your "pioneer" SSD were.!? You dont think the SSD is slow? No? Here is a drive that has been released in the year 2013: Go on buy the old drives and be blinded by ATTO-speed claims... theses have only benefit over HDD that they have lower response time and quicker boot (small file transfers), anything else is not signicantly better than best HDDs. again: OLD drives up to 3rd generations... (exactly the refurbished one you talk about). We're were all fooled, simple as that. What is claimed in the specs as seq-r/w measured with ATTO is absolutely bloated/souped-up. FINALLY ACCEPT IT! These drives simply are not specially fast drives. They look good on paper, but loose any fight against any other in real life. Thats the truth!!! Any questions? Please not. Please stop wasting my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakai Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 My old force gt (2012) has nothing to compare with your force 3. Speeds were about 500 MB/s... Really don't know what you want to show us! And the first line on crystal disk mark does not show all (iops;4k etc...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted June 27, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted June 27, 2013 I would suggest using ATTO you will be results that you can compare to the factory tested results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
