Bad experience with intel 540s ssd drive !!

[SReuv1]

Hi there ,

i bought the intel 540s 1TB 2 monthes ago ,

after installing it i ran the ssd toolbox to see info about the drive ,

the ssd toolbox wasnt able to retrive information from the drive , i contacted support and they told me its not important ,

ok i skipped this problem and didnt run the ssd toolbox,

after a while i wanted to check the firmware version and i noticed the firmware wasnt updated ,

i updated the firmware and drive stopped working , i tryed again to contact your support (check other threads i wrote)

still drive not working , i gave the drive back to the store i bought , and changed it to diffrent drive !!

NO MORE INTEL FOR ME!

i had really bad experience from your support and from the disk intel

i guess intel is only good at processors and not on other products ,

sorry but after i lost all my data and after the support didnt show any way to try solve the problem ,

im not gonna buy any intel 3rd party products or recommend any to my co-workers / friends .

VERY BAD EXPEREINCE!

there were just too much fails on the road since i bought this ssd

first the ssd toolbox didnt worked right with it ,

second the firmware update didnt worked since the graphics settings on the iso couldn't fit my screen ( why dont use windows to flash the firmware??)

then i changed it to another computer just to update the firmware

then the update failed ,

hdd wasnt recognized by computer

i wrote you for 3 days - forums - chat wasnt available - and thats after i was openning two threads - and i saw the support answered others and igonred me ,

i had to go change it , i dont have time for this games . all my data was lost and i was lucky i managed to had backup to some of it ,

some i could never find ,

whats piss me , is that long road i needed to go just to update the firmware and then it failed!

sorry intel , but in general my last experience with your products are very bad ..

im working in major company , and we buy lots of your products , so i get to managed and check lots of your products ,

alredy had problems with your NUC computers ssd drives , gfx cards , and also others,

please start pay attenition to your customer needs ,

the whole support system looks very good , but its worth nothing if it takes 3-4 days to answer a question or support unavailable

just take it as recommendation for your next customers .
