Drive fails every few hours

 

Drive will fail every few hours causing the system to suddenly restart ; Also I only get 200 MB/s reads even though sata 2 is supposed to be able to do 300 MB/s

Corsair Force Series 3 CSSD-F120GB3-BK 2.5" 120GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

 

There is something significantly wrong here. I am past the return stage unfortunately.

None So far. An absolute disaster ; Tried it on three motherboards but the system doesn't even see the drive ; Tried it in an external USB connector and it did see something about the device being seen/registered but still not showing anywhere ; I have...

See the above. None ... nothing ... nada

So far so Fast-update

 

BUY AMD PLATFORM

Well still no problems, still has same speeds as install day 1. I highly reccomend to not install on a marvell controller as this is probably where most of peoples issues are coming from. I am done here unless anything comes up at that point I will...

Extremely fast SSD

 

I got this drive knowing there could be problems but the price was right and most of the problems seemed to be related to earlier hardware revisions and firmwares. As soon as I put the drive in I updated it to firmware 1.3 and other than the picky...

Extremely fast, works well after getting around some quirks

Windows 7 refused to install to it initially. Putting it onto my internal AMD sata controller and setting it to IDE resolved the issue. I then moved it back to my Marvell sata3 controller

horrible experience all the way around

 

done with Newegg after 3 motherboard and 2 cpus and sending them back and forth finding it was the drive, but now cannot get another drive or money back, they want to give me a gift card and I already bought a replacement drive from someone else.

NO NE

garbage bad experience with Corsair and Newegg, will never do business with either one again

Read the reviews first!!!!

 

I understand the first 25- 50 people who got this drive....they had no clue that this is , obviously , a bad product. But i do not get what was in the last 50-125 people heads who got the drive after they had seen the bad reviews this drive had! u...

i do not own this drive, i would never buy such a low user rating product

Just Not worthit, buy Plextor

 

Well, where do I begin. First was a brick, second just a small improvement from being a brick. Very tough to keep it running, in the middle of something and it quits, very nice. Buy a Plextor

Very slow, my Plextor 128GB is so much faster than this. The Corsair produces 195Mb read and almost 100Mb write on the AS-SSD bench, I thought it was my MB or sata or cable but no. Change this rubbish out for a Plextor that is supposed to be slower and...

A DUD! A BAD JOKE! A COMPLETE FAILURE!

 

I see some people (on a forum) have RMA'd these and had the same junk sent right back to em 2-3 times!

Z E R O for Corsair ; NEW EGG YOU ARE THE *CLASS* THANK YOU FOR REFUSING TO SELL THIS PERPETUALLY DEFECTIVE PRODUCT TO YOUR CUSTOMERS, HOPE CORSAIR GETS THEIR STUFF STRAIGHT BY 11/30/2011

INFINITY Corsair should be utterly embarassed to have put this product out! It wont even load my Operating system! Tried 4 times, then loaded it on my F3 spinpoint with ease, tried 4 more times, RMA

Great Drive No Issues on AMD

 

ASUS F1A75-V PRO A8-3850 G.Skill 1866 8gb Corsair Force3 120gb WD Black 1TB Seasonic x650

After I install the drive the recall was issued. I had no issues with the drive no BSOD or random D/C others mentioned. Per Corsair even if I had no issues I still needed to RMA it. So I did and within a week. I received the new drive and it installed...

Having to RMA the drive after I installed and activated everything. Seems people where having more issues with INTEL chipsets and the sandforce controller, then AMD chipsets
