I've been browsing through their pages of forums and it doesn't look like there's any better way. Why they can't just make a downloadable ".iso" file that can be burned to a CD to boot into and update the firmware outside of windows (you know, like how Memtest86+ works) is beyond me. They seriously expect many people to be Linux users? I think they should realize by now after selling so many SSDs that it's not just for software engineer tech geeks anymore, regular people buy SSDs too who don't have the time or any good reason to learn about Linux just to update their stupid firmware. My old computer is Windows XP and as for Linux. Neither of those options are very practical for me. Because that's a practical solution for regular people right? Use some kind of Linux boot and run the install file from a Linux command prompt (or something like that.). Take out the SSD and put it in someone else's computer as a secondary drive, but again, it won't work if they have XP or the intel RST 10 driver.Ģ. Their solutions for people with the OS on the SSD they want to update?ġ.
which is nearly every SSD user I would guess because that's the whole point of an SSD. Their updater also doesn't work if you have the operating system installed on the SSD that you want to flash. Intel RST 10.1 apparently fixes a sleep or hibernate problem in OCZ drives and it's the driver that many people seem to recommend.
The OCZ toolbox updater will not work at all in windows XP, or with the Intel RST 10.x drivers. They just released a verrsion 1.29 but their firmware comes with a lot of asterisks. I've been looking into updating the firmware just because I prefer to roll with the freshest drivers I can find for everything on this new system. I'm finding SSDs and OCZ to not be very user friendly. The company (OCZ) doesn't release drivers but they release firmware updates. I've built a new system but I haven't installed Windows yet. Where do you get your drivers for SSD? Download the Intel RST 10.1 or from windows 7 or from your motherboard? I hear the Intel RST 10 is updated for the P67 chipset (which I use: ASUS P8P67 Pro, core i5 2500K, OCZ Vertex 2E 115GB, Windows 7 64 on the SSD) but I don't know if it's any better than just letting Windows 7 take care of it on it's own.
