c4rcy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hello all. Trying to do the 1.3.2 to 1.3.3 FW update. Current setup: Force GT 120G Win7 x64 AHCI enabled in BIOS AHCI enabled in Win7 (msahci Start set to 0) 1.3.2 FW The drive has version 1.3.2 on it at the moment, and I am trying to flash 1.3.3 to remove the known BSOD issues that 1.3.2 faces intermittently. After performing the update, I get a green check mark, but the version still says 1.3.2 after a rescan. I ran it as administrator and am using the default Win7 AHCI driver. I believe I have followed the directions pretty closely and am not missing any steps. If anyone could maybe describe to me what might be happening, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :sunglasses: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Is the drive plugged into an Intel SATA port? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c4rcy Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm not sure. My motherboard is an EVGA X58 SLI. The item specs are as shown on the bottom. http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5388313&CatId=4070 I am inclined to think it is Intel though.

c4rcy Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 It is in a JMicron. I will try to swap and update with an Intel port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriss79 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Same trouble upgrading, got checkbox green, but firmware stays in 1.3.2 Does anyone know what controller a Asrock ion 330 uses? the mainboard show up as AMCP7A-ION. I just plugged the ssd in the same port as the original disk. I`ve tried using nforce sata driver, but the overall performance got worse from around 250Mb seq read to about 100Mb a sec! Makes no sense. The original driver actually offers poor performance compared to the windows standard driver. Also the firmware updater can`t find the disk unless you uninstall the nforce driver and install the standard win driver. So know the speed is ok, but system freezes from time to time when system going out of sleep. I need that 1.3.3 firmware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
