Hi,
Would like some advice on whether I should RMA my Falcon II 64 GB.
Have had many corruption problems with windows 7 on falcon over last 12 months that cause random errors until computer unusable. Have re-installed windows every 2 months at least. During last firmware upgrade(1916) received messages about bad blocks on drive. Today l ran HD Tune and received warning as per the results below.
Should I just RMA the drive or would it be worth upgrading to latest firmware(2030)? Dont want to upgrade if its not going to help.
thanks
