jasperkemper Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 What will be my benefits of a Firmware Update? I'm pretty far behind. I'm still using Firmware Version: 1.3.3 But I just noticed there already is Firmware Version: 5.2 Would it be worth it to update firmware. And what could go wrong? Can I ruin it, and what will happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 FW 5.03 is the latest. If your not experiencing any issues with the drive, You don't need to update the FW. Changelog for 5.03 CHANGE LOG 1. Restored a minor TRIM performance variation from a previous release 2. Fixed a power management condition where the device failed to respond to COMWAKE, which might have resulted in the SSD not responding without being reset by the host Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasperkemper Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 I guess there would be more than 1 change log since 1.3.3 How much versions are passed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 It went from 1.3.3 right to 5.0.3. IIRC there was a 5.0.2, but I can't find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasperkemper Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share Posted April 24, 2013 Oh, so it isn't that bad? It seriously skipped from 1.3.3 to 5.2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Technobeard Posted April 24, 2013 Administrators Share Posted April 24, 2013 There is no 5.2. Yes, they re-numbered the updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthearu Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Sandforce 2 controller based drives have 2 firmware series, series 3 and series 5. Corsair was using their own firmware update numbering for the 3 series firmware (1.0.0 to 1.3.3) For the 5 series firmware, corsair, and most other sandforce customers, choose to stick with the sandforce firmware numbering. (5.0.1 to 5.0.3 and further with new drives). From what I recall 5.02 was released, but recalled as it had a minor performance fault with TRIM. Or at least it was shipped on some of corsairs drives.
