Corsair Recalls Force 3 120 GB Solid State Drives, Offers Free Replacement
Corsair issued a recall notice for its Force 3 120 GB solid state drive (model: CSSD-F120GBG3-BK). Other variants of the Force 3 series are not affected. Corsair noted a hardware issue where Force 3 120 GB SSDs shipped had much less performance than advertised. Owners of Force 3 120 GB can apply for a completely free replacement (shipping costs will be borne by Corsair), for a Force 3 120 GB drive from a normal batch. Owners can apply for a replacement at Corsair Support. Corsair will be pulling faulty batches of Force 3 120 GB off the shelves until they are restocked with fresh batches of normal drives.

now I want to see car manufactuers do the same, you know liek the toyota adds where they dropped a ton of stuff onto a tundra and it drove off or the dodge nitro adds where they dropped it through the earths crust, past the mantle and all the way to the core.
I'm now trying to get a replacement, but their forum rep "Yellowbeard" has been ignoring the question I asked, like will the replacement be OEM or retail.forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=95688
TheOne, I have a feeling the replacement will be retail.
With Corsair you do not need a lemon law in CA they are capable of doing a fixup themselves without a class action law suit, bloody amazing.
Now just to get all the other 1mil company's that does tech to follow this example.
Nudge nudge wink wink crApple and T"hacked for 3 years"-Mobile please catch a wake up.
You can tell by looking at the first four numbers above the product part number on the UPC sticker. Anything with 1122 or lower needs to be returned. Anything with 1123 or above is good new product.
