SuperTalent Rc8 Problems!
Anyone using the Rc8? This is the fastest thumb drive and totally amazing ---- When it works! Bought it back in Sept and was totally blown away. Worked great until January. Became unable to maintain a stable connection then finally died. Rma's and take almost a month to get something done. New one was equally impressive but lasted about a month, it died and now back to rma. Got the 3rd one in about 3 weeks on March 23rd and on the 27th I plugged it in the Usb3 front panel ports and killed the usb connection. Plugged it into the usb2 and killed those ports. Shutdown time - won't shutdown - must kill with power button. Reboot and everything back to normal. Tested connection with my other usb3 drives and no issues. Plug in the Rc8 and kills the connection. Front usb3 ports, rear usb3 ports, front usb2 ports, rear usb2 ports - does not matter as it will kill the connection. Might do this once, twice a day then may not do it for two or three days.
Absolutely love this drive but I cannot depend on it. SuperTalent support is pretty much non-existant. Could rma again but already have $everal bucks invested in shipping costs and it appears this will be an every 2 or 3 month ordeal so I am hesitant to go there. Might just be time to cut my loss and bail out. Jusst don't know.
What could possibly be causing this issue? Is anyone else having problems with the Rc8 and are you have problems with SuperTalent support?
