9tailsfox Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I got the same problem upgrade from 5.05a to 5.07 by using SSD tool box. My previous version is 1.0 and can't even check the available new firmware(said my SSD unknown version). Later I search forum and update it Corsair field updater tool and manage to upgraded it from 1.0 to 5.05a. But now I'm having problem upgrade it to 5.07. My SSD is using Marvell 91XX SATA III 6.0G/s port AHCI Mode. While other storage I use intel raid and I installed IRST software driver. So I need to remove it as well? Any other advise or 5.07 firmware for download other than using SSD toolbox? -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is some extra performance gain While I tested and snapshot by using HDtune 5.50 pro benchmark before and after upgrade from 1.0 to 5.05a Firmware.

Administrators Technobeard Posted September 22, 2013 Administrators Share Posted September 22, 2013 Which SSD do you have, and what is the signature of that SSD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tailsfox Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 I got the same problem as well. When I was updating the my Force SSD 120gb 1.0 by using SSD toolbox ( It message unknown version). Then I search forum here and manage to flash it 1.0 to 5.05a by using Corsair Field updater. Now from 5.05a update to 5.07 (message update failed). Since my SSD drive using Marvel 91xx Sata port and other drive is using intel Raid 0 with IRST software driver. So do I need uninstall Intel IRST to MSdriver as well? or reinstall marvell driver to Ms driver? Thanks Some performance gain before and after upgrade firmware from 1.0 to 5.05a :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9tailsfox Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 these pictures were taken during update the firmware. I saw the message update failed. I use corsair field updater to confirm but once I scan driver and saw firmware 5.07. then I use SSD toolbox refresh but the firmware version still 5.05. So for safety I use corsair field updater just flash back to 5.05a 22788 signature firmware. I don't wanna end up send RMA.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Plug the drive into a Intel/AMD SATA port with AHCI enabled to update the firmware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tailsfox Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 but must intel IRST software uninstall? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you still cannot update the firmware while its plugged into a Intel SATA port then yes, uninstall it and the drivers and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9tailsfox Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hi, good news. I got it flash by plug it in to intel sata and flash completely firmware 5.07. Thanks and hope there is improvement for the SSD toolbox for the version that can support more wide range of Sata. and the performance gain? well this could hard to say cos I tested 3 times for and it result different and not as clear as from 1.0 to 5.05a. But there is some peak gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasted Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 If you are going to run benchmarks, use ATTO as Corsair uses it for their advertised speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmutcheese Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Lucky you as that Toolbox simply freezes my PC up. I have tried running it from other HDD/OS and from within the SSD/OS to be updated added to the fact 5.06 never mind 5.06 has never been offered here. Some claim you do not need updates but companies do now spend time and money writing updates for fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
