Toasted Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Plug the drives into another computer with AHCI enabled and try the firmware update. The field updater tool is very old and is known to have detection issues with the X79 chipset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toasted Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Np, You should be able to use the SSD toolbox from now on without any issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aixx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hello, this is just an information to the admins: i've the same problem with Force 3 120GB FW 1.3.3. my 2nd Force 3 120 GB FW 5.0.5 was updated to 5.0.7 without any issues so...i want to say SSD toolbox wouldn't update from 1.3.3 to 5.0.7 on X79 chipset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 @aixx Yes, that is correct. The SSD toolbox does not support firmware updating from 1.3.X to 5.0.X 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. Unfortunately, you will need to update the SSD firmware on another computer as the manual tool (field updater) does not support X79 chipsets.
