#OCZ SSD UTILITY UPDATE FIRMWARE BY USB BOOT HANGS UPGRADE#
I don't remember who that one was since the non-LiveCD is easier for a machine that is already running Linux.Īgain to emphasize: the software to upgrade the firmware can be obtained from any manufacturer, but the firmware for your specific drive must be the exact one that Corsair tells you to use. I also know at least one manufacturer who offers a Linux LiveCD with the updating tool built into it. I know there are at least 2 manufacturers who offer the stand alone tool. You want either the stand alone tool that you would run after booting any Linux LiveCD of your choosing, or you can get a pre-built LiveCD that contains the updating tool. Otherwise, you'll want a Linux updating tool. If someone does, then go ahead and use that.

Do any manufacturers of Sandforce Driven SSDs offer a Mac updating tool? (That's not rhetorical, I never looked into that). Now, what tools do you need? You say you have a Mac. Just ignore the visual differences as it is irrelevant. That means that the firmware updating tool is functionally identical. These SSD manufacturers slap their name and sometimes their logo on this software but otherwise do not modify it. Sandforce creates and distributes the firmware updater to the SSD makers who uses their (Sandforce's) controllers (Corsair + others). Please refrain from doing so in the future. You will, of course, need to grab the firmwares from Corsair.Īround here they don't want anyone to mention a competitor by name.

I would suggest not bothering with the LiveCD.įor those who still hesitate, let me add that the tool shipped for every sandforce drive is exactly the same let it be for a bit of branding you can follow up with Corsair's HOWTO pdf (see Yellowbeard's posts). The "LiveCD" solutions work, and then there are a few who just ship the SandForce tool to run it on your own OS.
Flashed my Force 3 GT from 1.3.3 to 5.03 and it never happened again (roughly two weeks now, on a busy system running 24/7). I build a few of these system but only one with a SSD (a treat to myself !) on which I had random system freezes on a daily baisis (while the others did not). Sorry for the post redundancy, but I was hesitating at first and figured that some people would be a tad more confident hearing it in stereo.

Hey there Thanks for heads up you saved me alot of hassles I was hesitating between buying a Windows license or giving up a perfectly good drive.
Hopefully Mac users can benefit from this information as well. I noted that more than one vendor is distributing that exact version of the Updater so really it doesn't matter where you get it from. No mucking with boot disks, Windows, or other nuisances. I flashed a 60GB Force 3 SSD from fw ver 1.3.3 to 5.03 using Updater version 1.23 under Kubuntu 12.04 64-bit and it couldn't have been easier. A number of those do distribute the Linux updater (sadly not our Corsair.) I know I can't mention anyone by name, so I'll just mention that Wikipedia has a nice list of SSDs with the SF controller. I can confirm that the Linux firmware updater for SandForce SSDs is not vendor specific. What this all means is that the firmware updater also is nothing special (cf. vic files as delivered by Corsair and the firmware releases by other SandForce vendors. I was able to confirm that only the header is different between the. It's nice to know that the firmware is a clean drop from SandForce with nothing special done to it. Our firmware packages and the update tools both come from SandForce in their complete form.
