kysen Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Hi Guys, Just looking for some advice, I have a F60 with firmware 1.1. I use to have issues with BSOD's but my retailer was good enough to RA. Since receiving the replacement drive I've had no issues with BSOD and atto benchmark results are great. Just wondering if I should update to firmware 2.0? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 If you don't have issues, I wouldn't update it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhesuspieces Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think waiting until version 2.0 or even 2.1 starts shipping on the drives would be a good idea. Firmware 2.0 has only be out for a little over a month. Some people, I think a very few compared to all the folks out there, are still having problems. I'm running on a Toshiba R705 laptop without any problems at 1.1. Reading these forums is a little like watching sausage being made. Sometimes you know too much:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Most people with issues that I've seen are on laptops. Best to stick with the P series for OEM systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted December 13, 2010 Corsair Employees Share Posted December 13, 2010 If your system is not having a problem there is no need to update the firmware... If its not broken then why FIX it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhesuspieces Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I guess the problem with that advice Ram Guy is that we might not know the drive is broken. You read reports of people starting their machines and finding there is no partition table or the drive isn't recognized anymore. Sometimes this happens after months of use. If updated firmware can keep this from happening I think that it is worthwhile to consider upgrading the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well You have to take these reports with a grain of salt and consider the volume of drives we are selling, in other with any item that sells a large volume you are likely to see more people having problems but compared to the volume we are selling then people who have issues are quite small. There are no cold boot issues with this series the only reported issue was failure to detect when wake from S3 or suspend which was addressed with firmware 2.0 and the latest Intel chipset driver.

rhesuspieces Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Something came up that affects this discussion. My system software notified me that an update for the BIOS was available. There was never a question that I should not upgrade the BIOS. Changes to the BIOS, in this case, increases the stability of system and possibly support of the SSD. The upgrade came with a short list of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I always run the most recent BIOS unless there is some very specific reason not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
