  • Falcon II Corruptions - RMA or upgrade firmware?

    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

    Hi rayzor,
    The HDTune Pro has a issue that incorrect identify the SMART attribute ID C7 of Falcon/Falcon II.
    You could use CrystalDiskInfo instead.

    And the firmware 2030 has improved the stability. You can update to the latest firmware first.
    If your SSD still has corruption with the firmware 2030,please RMA it.
