ikon 439 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 This is going to sound a little strange but I find the Corsair warranty is a double edged sword. Yes, it's fantastic that they warranty their RAM for life. On the other hand, the only RAM I've ever had to return for replacement is Corsair; kind of like, "It's a good thing you've got that warranty, cause you're gonna need it".

Jason 84 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Agreed. This is first time I can recall having to swap RAM and it too was Corsair under their lifetime warranty. However I found their customer service/RMA process to be fast and painless. Link to post Share on other sites
nrf 135 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I'm guessing the stuff was not the most expensive ram you could buy at the time  I prefer to buy ram with lifetime warranty. I had only a single stick of Crucial go bad on me and it was quickly replaced, out of around 20 sticks I've bought over the years.  likewise, since some network switches have lifetime warranty, I prefer that as well. I ended up getting two netgear smart switches 'upgraded' for free when they got replaced under warranty. I only wish wireless routers came with that kind of warranty.

Vertigo 2 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 It was an 8GB Corsair Vengeance 2x4 kit which cost me about £35 at the time but nowadays is more like £60. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Incidentally mine was a Corsair Vengeance 2x8 GB (16 GB) kit that went bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Vertigo 2 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Just a quick update to say - so far so good! Â Only been a month or so thus far but no corruptions yet so hopefully... Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks for posting back. I suspect you have got it fixed and the issue is resolved. Now, you just have to get over the idea that Client Computer Backups are fragile or unreliable. After all, it really appears that faulty hardware was the problem — WSE2012R2 can hardly be blamed for that Link to post Share on other sites
Vertigo 2 Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Yeah really hope I've solved it and it continues to be reliable, which is what you want from a backup! Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 No kidding. Reliability is the first or second most important thing when it comes to backups. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Vertigo, you too had faulty RAM correct? Link to post Share on other sites
