Corsair Force 3 SSD, Firmware Ver.1.2 Problem


Recommended Posts

Well, I have been having problems with this SSD. Performance wise is good, but I have been having a random situation. The Computer reboots... and then it can't find the OS... so it can't find the SSD... so I have to power down the computer, then power up, go to the Bios. Now the Bios can see the SSD and I move it to the top priority booting list so then OS can boot from it...

 

And its very random.. can happen 2-3 times a week, or go to 2 times a month...

 

The version is the 1.2. I read that the update to the 5.xx won't happen if you have a v1.3x version.. but mine is v1.2 I guess there is a problem there to update it...

 

Any ideas what to do? I don't like instability in my system.. and this didn't happen with my previous SSD OCZ-Vertex2

 

Thank you in Advance...

First thing you should try is to upgrade to recent FW.

 

Yes update from 1.3.x to 5.xx does NOT work via the Corsair-Toolbox only.

Instead it DOES work with the old-tool the "Corsair Field Updater", thats in the info, too.

 

So your older Firmware 1.2 is of course supported through the old-tool "Corsair Field Updater" too.

 

In other words: When 1.3.3 was new in the past, everyone upgraded from 1.2 to 1.3 with the "corsair field updater".

 

 

Im sry that the creators of the manual/update-notes of the toolbox specifically wrote

Please note that we currently do not support upgrading old 1.3.x FW to 5.0x FW on Sandforce based drives.

 

Because what they in fact really mean for sure was:

Please note that we currently do not support upgrading old 1.x FW to 5.0x FW on Sandforce based drives.

or

Please note that we currently do not support upgrading older than 1.3.x FW to 5.0x FW on Sandforce based drives.

 

Hope that cleared your questions.

Please note that we currently do not support upgrading old 1.3.x FW to 5.0x FW on Sandforce based drives. Users of 1.3.x firmwares will still need to update to 5.xx firmwares using the Sandforce based FW update process found in the SSD Firmware Update section.

 

There you go.

 

If you still don't get it: There's a sticky thread labeled: Force 3 / GS / GT / Nova / Accelerator Series 5.05a Firmware Update and it's called the Sandforce Update Tool
