I have 2 X-25M 80gb in Intel RAID 0. Here are before and after results for the 102M3 firmware update:
Before:
After:
No significant difference, as far as I can tell.
I'm running Win7 64 and this comment from the update readme file did not happen:
Note: For computers booting into Windows 7 after a firmware update,
a message appears when the operating system starts that prompts you to restart the computer. Restart when prompted.
FYI
Ken

Well, it's not a given that this firmware update will increase performance as measured by 'Crystal or other benchmarking tools. For example, the update could be fixes or enhancements to wear-leveling, responses to TRIM commands, or bug fixes in the controller code that most of us would not understand without some education.
This is what Intel included in the Release Notes for the 2CV102M3 Firmware update:
This firmware revision fixes enumeration and slow-boot issues on SATA 6Gb/s controllers, adds improvements to S.M.A.R.T. attributes for more accurate reporting of drive health, improves NCQ capability, and fixes possible drive hangs when reading S.M.A.R.T. self-test log.
Nothing that is directlyly performance related, except for NCQ capability, which only comes into play with SSDs when the latency of other parts of the PC causes the SSD to wait for them. Perhaps they aren't mentioning everything, but they didn't mention enhancing the "user experience". Oh well...
