I have an Intel X25-M G2 Postville with 160 GB and successfully upgraded from 02HA to 02HD, deleted all partitions, clear mbr and i formatted the ssd. the drive is working, but the smart error is still there. i tested this the old intel ssd toolbox, run fast diagnostic scan with no errors. the full diagnostic scan notify me some errors. now i think i have to send it back to my reseller.

smart error notify:

After 60 minutes of working windows notify me about an system error (smart erros) with eventid 1.

For reference, these are my scores after the upgrade. I have an intel x-25m g2 80gb running with Win 7 32bit. The SSD is mainly a boot drive for me.

I am quite happy with the upgrade so far. Write speeds have increased considerably. Read remains high as always.

Stability seems perfect so far.

ssduser123, which smart error do you have? Is it the end to end error?

Ceejay, did you have end to end errors before updating the firmware that were gone afterwards?

I have end to end errors on my SSD and want to know if this firmware update will "fix" them. In the 3 or so weeks that I've seen the errors reported (after upgrading to a motherboard supporting AHCI), the raw value of the end to end errors hasn't changed. I'm hoping this firmware can fix it so I don't have to try to RMA the drive.

I upgraded the firmware without incident, but unfortunately the end to end errors are still there. The raw value didn't change. Should I contact Intel about an RMA? Windows 7 and ActiveSmart keep warning me about it.

Another question: how can I tell if my system uses msahci.sys for my SSD? Here's a screenshot of my device manager. I see msahci.sys under my SATA controller but it isn't listed in the driver details of the SSD. Is that to be expected?
