| Post new firmware and tool ANNOUNCEMENTS here Since manufacturers of non-optical storage devices also release firmware updates and tools for their products, we should make it easier for our members to find them. That's what this thread is for: Having all these things together in one thread. The perfect post would contain: 0. Category (Tool or Firmware) 1. Drive (HDD/SSD) model 2. Version 3. Download link to the new firmware 4. Changelog (Release date and reason) 5. Link to a discussion thread if one already exists Please note, this thread is an announcement-only thread. All other posts will be deleted without further notification. |

| Re: Post new firmware and tool ANNOUNCEMENTS here Firmware 1.32 is now available for the OCZ RevoDrive, RevoDrive X2, and IBIS series. In order to flash, a live distro of Ubuntu is required which runs from a USB pen drive. Don't worry about Linux being mentioned here, it is really very simple and a very safe way of flashing an SSD. Full instructions are in the link below, and the files required. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...drive-firmware

| Post new firmware and tool ANNOUNCEMENTS here The title pretty much says it all. Until now Ocz Toolbox couldn't flash the OS drive and users had to resort to alternative methods. The just released v2.35 does just that and (as of v2.33) will work with the latest Intel RST v10.* drivers by running in Win XP SP3 compatibility mode. These are two VERY welcome updates that make owning/updating the latest and greatest new SSD tech muuuch easier. Anytime you embrace a fairly new technology, the road sometimes gets bumpy...Ocz just helped to smooth it a bit. ![]() Details here: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/fo...or-limitations note: I was going to post this in the FW/Tool sticky but was not sure if regular members were allowed to post there...ofc Mods can move it if need be. |
