IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE BEGINNING YOUR UPDATE
If you are stable with the current 1.2 firmware and do not have issues, we suggest that you
do not flash your firmware. Also, it is not possible to flash back to a previous firmware version.
This update is intended to not be destructive to your data. However, we strongly urge that you back up any important data before beginning this procedure.
This update has been validated for use with Windows 7. It has not been validated with Windows Vista and Windows XP however it may work with these OS's. Users are encouraged to update the drives with Windows 7 when possible.
This update tool is intended to be run with the drive controller in AHCI mode. If your drive controller is not AHCI enabled and your update fails, you will need to change it to AHCI mode and also enable AHCI in your OS registry. Here is a guide for
ENABLING AHCI.
This update will not work with a controller in RAID mode.
If you have issues updating using the Microsoft AHCI driver, you may need to update using the latest driver from your drive controller manufacturer.
Our latest testing shows that this update will not work using a Marvell controller. If your update fails using the Marvell controller, you will need to update using the chipset based drive controller on your motherboard. This applies to SATA2 and SATA3 controllers.
DO NOT at any time power off your system during this procedure. This may “brick” your drive.
After your update, if you still have issues, we strongly recommend the following steps:
1. Complete clearing of the BIOS
2. Secure erase the SSD
3. A clean installation of the OS
!!!WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!
Read the .PDF and look VERY VERY VERY closely at the pictures and read the text on each picture. Be sure to flash with the *****_
fw_vic version.
DO NOT FLASH WITH THE *****_mf_vic version or your drive will be unusable!
