I just installed a 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP. It seems to be working fine. I figured I should update the firmware, but I am unable to get the Intel® SATA Solid-State Drive Firmware Update Tool version 2.0.9 to work. I burned the ISO using both a Mac and a Win7 machine. In both cases it appears to burn correctly, but when I boot from either disc, I get a "no bootable device" message.
After searching the forums a bit, I tried unpacking issdfut_2.0.9.iso to check for iSSDFUT.exe, but it is not present in the ISO. Here's the contents of the ISO. I have downloaded it and unpacked it on two separate Macs and a Win7 PC and I see the same thing. I downloaded the ISO from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=18363 Download Center
CONTENTS
initrd
vmlinuz
isolinux (directory)
isolinux\boot.cat
isolinux\isolinux.bin
isolinux\isolinux.cfg
licenses (directory with tons of folders with license files in them)
Is the contents of the ISO correct? Is there something else I am supposed to be doing to update the firmware for my Intel 530 SSD in my mid-2009 MBP? Thanks!

Hi all,
We are still working the issue but don't have a release date. I'll update this post as soon as I have a confirmed date.

Hi Nicklas,
We are close. I hope to have a beta version of the FUT that will allow you to update the FW within 1-2 weeks (barring any setbacks in development testing).

Hi, ken-Intel:
I've been reading all this thread and I'm also experiencing the below mentioned issues running the ISSDFUT 2.0.10 on my MacBook Pro 5,5 (mid 2009) with an Intel SSD 530 series. The negotiated link speed is still also at 1.5 Gigabit.
I just would like to know if are you still working on fixing this issue. Hope so.
Thanks in advance.
