Hi ivas2009,

I am experiencing the same problems as you. I upgraded the firmware on a fresh drive and installed OSX, bootcamp and then Windows 7. Are you saying that if I downgrade the firmware I will see an increase in speed?

System Specs: 13.3" Macbook Pro 2.53GHz (Mid-2009 Model)

Take a look at my crystaldiskbench results.

The update went good for me. It's on a new build, so I flashed the SSD before installing anything. I'm running XP Pro and all is speedy and great so far. It seems I'm the only one with XP on my SSD? I haven't read anyone else running it on theirs. I had to go with XP to keep all the older apps at work to run without paying for upgrading them as well.

I was really hoping ....... but got dissapointet again !!!!

After patching to the new FW the drive is SLOWER than before.

Even worse for me, I cant enter the power safing mode. PC shuts down and gets immediately back to the login screen.

I have to admit that my next PC will not have ANY INTEL part at all. Im totally convinced now in using AMD instead. Just to not waste my money any more.

Thanks Intel for giving me so much pain and useless work + not any support at all.

Post update, things seem the same to me. Everything's nice and speedy.
