New 510 250GB SSD... Updates?

[idata]

just picked up the intel 510 SSD (250GB) looking to see what i need to do to get running

is there any new firmware out for it, etc that wouldn't come on the drive?

this is my first Intel SSD.. last one I had was OCZ and their forum had a list of tweaks/ options for windows to mess with to speed things up a bit... does the Intel community have the same offering?

Any input on defect rates? Its the only reason why I'm switching brands (too many dieing ssd from ocz)

Amazingly, when I repeat the very same steps to select downloads for the DH67GD and W7x64, today I do NOT get offered the SRT software. I swear it was there; indeed I have seen it many times and wondered about it before. Wish now I'd taken a picture of it! Maybe someone fixed the logic on the website!? No matter...you have cleared-up all my questions about the 510 series and my DH67GD and I appreciate it!

Oh, no I use only onboard graphics and don't need the Virtu sw afaict.

Thanks parsec!

Now tom, are you sure... just joking, I believe you! With all the products and chipsets floating around within Intel, a mistake like that is inevitable. I doubt that it would have installed anyway, Intel's installation programs are pretty good about that. No harm done, except for some disappointed users that may have tried it, although I didn't see any complaints about that. Ok tom, take care!
