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?

Yes, immediately after seeing the message saying that the firmware was already updated (before going back to Windows). I'll try to figure out what's wrong tonight.

I also have this problem.
I still have the Intel SSD Toolbox installed so I ran that. It also reports the firmware as being 2CV102HD as does Crystal Disk Info.
When I tried to run the SSD management tools it reports the drive status as passed and as ready for use. When I run it though it fails saying "Error creating Intel Optimizer SSD files on the selected drive".

This is a little off topic of this thread but I just enabled AHCI on my computer and my crystal mark disk scores are a hell of a lot better! Some people were saying this doesn't make that much of a difference, but as far as benchmarking goes, it really does.

There is another thread in regards to this /thread/8934?tstart=0 http://communities.intel.com/thread/8934?tstart=0
The bottom line is ALL Intel SSD users should be running in AHCI mode if it is available to them.

Has anybody else with the 'firmware already updated' issue attempted to run ssd optimizer? I didn't download before it was taken off the site, so can't test.
