Según parece la controladora Sandforce 2XXX, presente en las gamas high-end actuales (Vertex 3, etc) no funciona todo lo bien que debería por lo que algunos fabricantes están tomando medidas.
Aquí os dejo el "statement" de Corsair:
CORSAIR FORCE SERIES 3 UPDATE, JUNE 7, 2011
Over the past several days, we have analyzed issues associated with the stability of our recently released 120GB Force Series 3 SSD. Our review has identified that a significant percentage of these drive do not perform to specifications. The solution will require changes to both the SSD firmware and the hardware components of the SSD itself.
We have stopped shipments of the affected drive, Corsair part number CSSD-F120GB3-BK, effective immediately and have implemented the following remediation plan:
(1) ALL users should cease using the CSSD-F120GBG3-BK drive immediately, even if you have not experienced issues of stability.
(2) Users may then either RETURN the drive to Corsair, at Corsair's expense, to be exchanged with a replacement drive that does meet specifications OR
(3) Return the drive to their place of purchase.
Corsair is committed to product quality and we want to assure our customers that this remediation plan will be implemented at no cost to you.
To return your Force Series 3 120GB SSD to Corsair, contact Corsair to ARRANGE YOUR REPLACEMENT . Corsair will pay for shipping your drive back to Corsair and will replace your drive free of charge. Estimated turnaround time is ten business days.
El de OCZ:
OCZ Official Statement regarding hardware issues reported by other manufacturers
OCZ is aware of firmware issues that have been reported in the field that are potentially causing bluescreens on all SF2000 based drives, this issue affects a very small percentage of Vertex 3 and Agility 3 SSDs, and currently less than 1% of all our customers are affected. This hard to replicate issue is a completely different issue than what some other drive manufacturers are experiencing, which may have similar symptoms but is caused by a hardware issue. Unlike other brands OCZ does not use a reference design, and we design and manufacture our SSDs in-house, and are NOT affected by the hardware problems which are unique to other drive vendors.
OCZ is working diligently with our customers and SandForce to quickly resolve the outstanding firmware issues and we will be releasing a firmware update that addresses the bluescreen issue as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime we encourage any customers that are experiencing any bluescreen issues to contact our customer service team for immediate support.[/i]
Recomendación personal: yo evitaría a toda costa comprar un disco con controladora Sandforce, siendo franco. Por lo menos os ahorraréis cualquier posible dolor de cabeza...
