Is Scan aware that there have been major problems with these SSD's?

Please can you elaborate?
Best Regards
Everyone's waiting for a firmware update. SSD is not being detected by bios on some boards and random BSOD's. Check out the Corsair forum:Originally Posted by Chris P

I am speaking with Corsair about this, it sounds as if it all boils down to a firmware release, which is due. Does this issue also affect you personally as well ?
Best Regards
That's a rather broad statement. The vast majority of users are not having issues at all. Those that are having issues after taking the steps offered by tech support should be taken care of with the upcoming firmware.

Mine died far too quickly (~24hrs), but it was a cracking drive while it worked.
When the F120s drop in price a bit more I'll likely take the risk and get one for my 11.6" notebook.

Hi. Yes it affects me. Not sure whether to return mine or wait for an update but at present it's a brick.
If its bricked return it.

TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I've been told to wait for a firmware.
How are you expected to update firmware on something thats bricked ?

And anyway, why should you be sitting around with a useless HDD waiting for firmware with no ETA?
I'd get it swapped ASAP.

Sorry I didn't mean it literally. It works with some boards and not with others. I was told if Scan test it and it works then no refund or exchange.
Yellowbeard has confirmed this isn't an issue for the majority of people as confirmed in the corsair forums, a drive isn't working in one system will work in another so is more of a compatibility issue.
We suggest waiting for the firmware update as returning the drive under RMA could result in NFF, due to the reason above.
We will stay in contact with Corsair about this issue and keep you all updated.
Best Regards
What is NFF?
Why am I not surprised with your statement?
Yes but the problem is with the drive not with my system. The firmware might never arrive? There are definitely sufficient grounds for rma. I'm still within 28 days.
Yes I agree it is not an issue for athe majority of people but it is an issue for a significant amount of people.

NFF = No Fault Found...
We have not said you can't return the drive to be tested, but the issues seem to be a compatibility problem, not a fault with the drives. Please feel free to raise an Returns query if you wish.
Regards
RMA dude, it's obviously faulty.
