If you’re one of them you need to know that this particular drive is subject to a recall due to “stability issues”. Sweclockers has reported rumors that other SSDs might also be affected, but the manufacturers in question have swiftly denied it — so it is only this very specific Corsair drive that is being recalled. Backup your data and hit the source link for further instructions. Don’t get mad, get a replacement.

For the third May in a row, it’s issuing another expansion of its voluntary battery recall on laptops produced from July 2007 to May 2008 — frankly, we’re considering a holiday to mark the occasion. May 2009 saw a recall of 70,000 batteries followed by an expansion to cover 15,000 in China, totaling 85,000 affected laptops. It didn’t end there though, as further expansion was put in place during May 2010 to cover even more models, and this time around, a sizeable number of lappies have been added to the ever-growing list. About five percent of the models from the aforementioned time frame could have problematic batteries, and HP will be providing replacements for those at risk of getting a little too hot under the collar. If your machine was also part of the previous recalls, HP’s saying those should be verified as well, even if you’ve done so in the past already. The full grid of affected laptops can be perused after the break — Memorial Day weekend will be full of grilling, but we wouldn’t want that to include your skin, okay?
