I tried to update the FW and it failed, saying I should boot up in legacy IDE mode (I'm using ahci). I rebooted in IDE mode, and then when it came to updating the firmware, it said the firmware was already updated. Anyone else have this problem?
I can still interact normally with my drive. I can read, write, and format. So at least that is good. Performance-wise it is at 225 read and 108 write.
CrystalDiskInfo, intel firmware update tool and speedfan are all reporting the latest firmware - but I can't see how the latest firmware could be on my drive if the update program didn't put it on!
This happened to me as well. I have a brand new 160g and updated through AHCI and got the update didn't complete, went back a 2nd time (in IDE) and said it couldn't update cause it had the latest firmware. I don't think I'll be worrying about it. Speeds seems right and when I looked at CrystalDiskInfo where all the SMART info is, TRIM is not greyed out so that means it's good. Maybe another way to see is if you have the INTEL SSD Toolbox and see if it will run.
