OS or firmware first ??

Hi,

Just want to be sure, I should receive my 320 120g soon, do I update the firmware first and then install W7 or the opposite ???

I believe Intel test each SSD before dispatch. For sure NAND is rigorously tested after production. I can understand the reason for caution, but I doubt the process you suggest would induce an infant mortality failure, if such a defect existed. It will however induce unnecessary wear on the SSD.

Updating the firmware before the OS install is however a no brainer.

Ok, that sounds like good info, I had a bad experience with another brand of ssd and don't want to have the same with this one.

Thanks
