TbouncerT Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am just wondering why update firmware? I've seen a lot of if it works don't update it. What's the point of releasing the firmware then? I am a person that likes to have up-to-date software, etc. I am in a pickle here, I really really want to update it but at the same time I fear that it might mess something up. I have a Force GT 120GB SSD with the firmware 1.3.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The 5.** series updates generally improved performance in the SandForce based drives. There are no stability issues related to 5.** so it's basically a win-win. However, if you are happy and your system is stable, you can also just leave it alone.

TbouncerT Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Cool! Well on another note I am getting a failed update when trying to update through the new toolset. My setup is as follows: Force GT 120GB is main drive that has windows x2 of Force GT 240GB stripped via windows Can't update any of the 3 drives (I find of assumed the stripped would cause some issues, but the single drive??).

Yellowbeard Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 If you are using the tool, I can only assume that you did not read the information we provided HERE yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbouncerT Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Thank you -_- I overlooked "Please note that we currently do not support upgrading old 1.3.x FW to 5.0x FW on Sandforce based drives. Users of 1.3.x firmwares will still need to update to 5.xx firmwares using the Sandforce based FW update process found in the SSD Firmware Update section."

I need to add it to the blog post and possibly add a .pdf to the same page as the download link for the tool so that it's not so hard to find. ::pirate:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
