Default Firmware Update Won't Work
I have a Corsair 120GB Neutron GTX SSD running Windows 8.1 Pro. I downloaded and installed Corsair SSD Toolbox and it says I have firmware version M310 and that there is an firmware update. I click the firmware update button and it says downloading and then 20 seconds later says update failed. I disabled my antivirus and anti spyware programs and it still fails. Any ideas why? Thanks.

Fully power your system off and leave it off for 30- seconds and reboot. Check your firmware again. Also, check any SSD product page for the download and make sure you have the latest version of the toolbox, 1.1.0

I have the latest version and turned off machine over night and still says the same thing. I have my BIOS set to UEIF and secure boot. Would this matter?

Update..I went into bios and disabled secure boot and I still get the same message that it fails. The bios also says legacy disabled could that be it? Thanks.

Search for Device Manager and click on it
then a window will show, look for IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and expand it by clicking on it
Now you will have something like Intel(R) ......... SATA AHCI controler
RIGHT CLICK on it
Choose Update driver software
Chose Browse my computer for driver software
Chose Let me pick from a list .....
And now you will see something like Standard AHCI 1.0 Serial ATA controller.
Select this one and then click Next

Ok..Here I am 3 years later and just downloaded the newest toolbox. It says has a firmware update of version 311.....I already have that version.....this happened 3 years ago as well. I have it do the update for the hell of it and says successful. I turn off machine and then back on 2 min later and it's still 311. Yes I changed to the standard adapter in device manager first. Any ideas?

If the SSD is working fine, you don't really need to update the firmware.

Have you tried updating the SSD on another computer with AHCI enabled?

You can also contact technical support for further assistance.

I downloaded the latest SSD Toolbox today (v1.2.3.9) as it still doesn't work.

This software is hopeless
