QUOTE(jinaun @ Aug 23 2010, 05:55 PM) its a known issue.. you have to completely power down the computer.. cold boot instead of warm reboot check out corsair forums abt the F series drives randomly disappear upon reboot   okok.. Hope they got fix for this.. Really tried everything already still same.. Enable AHCI etc, etc all tried finish..  Thanks for your info.  |

QUOTE(kaiserreich @ Nov 29 2010, 08:52 PM) Corsair Sandforce is way cheaper if you look around in Garage sales, local distro. Plus I don't think there is much difference even though OCZ has a deal with SF for the firmware stuff. Corsair Force firmware 1.1 used to have BSOD problem when waking up from sleep. Firmware 2.0 supposed to solve it, no problems on mine thus far. theres a new Firmware 2.0 out for F60 already.. but i cant seem to update mine coz it didnt detect my ssd.. @Hyde`fK DuraDrive thing is enable by the firmware the preserve the write or something. Perfectly normal to have lower write speeds during benching. It is enabled when too much writing or something rather. Try running CDM in 0-fill mode and you should get the full speed.  |

QUOTE(driftmeister @ Dec 2 2010, 04:15 PM) ditto.. Thats why i say dont wait for it. Wan just see which spec good and buy lor..sandforce isn't something old only come out like less than 1 year ago. is that old? not really. is it a new tech. definitely not. the "wait for the new XXX" can always be a waiting game. every few months there's a new product coming out dono how to follow the trend. x.x QUOTE(JinXXX @ Dec 2 2010, 05:33 PM) dont think so i personally check with them and they follow the price they give.. Hmm.. dunno la.. but my selling price same as CEX o.. thats why im like thats ODD.... so huge diff using different suppliers ? QUOTE(chenhui87 @ Dec 5 2010, 11:02 PM) cannot update only,then nid to rma?? Yea, coz cant detect drive.. Its a fault already. |

QUOTE(everling @ Feb 19 2011, 08:43 AM) I believe the reviewed OCZ SSDs were the enterprise grade Vertex 3 Pro, and not the retail Vertex 3, hence the extra cost. Left out the Pro.. lol.. Been thinking to get a revodrive x2 myself also.. still thinking bout this.. Added on February 19, 2011, 8:43 am Thanks for the info.   |
