Then unfortunately I'm out of ideas, sorry.

Just done mine via windows, easy as pie

Did mine on another PC, just burned the ISO file to a DVD, split up the RAID 0 array, booted the PC twice, typed in “YES” when asked, plugged the SSD’s back into the RAID 0 array, job done easy as pie

Mine sticks at finding drives with either windows or boot from cd, bummer.

Pleased I seen this. Just ordered a 256gb one.

kudos to crucial for that windows update software worked a treat

so painless was doubting it at first but shazam it worked

Raid 0 System drives both updated and straight back into windows

Had exactly the same problem. Taking it out solved it instantly.

Used the windows app, worked a treat

Thanks Bledd, my drive today hit 5226 hours on 0009 and was freezing each hour. I already knew about the issue but couldn't be bothered to update the firmware the typical way and left it. The new windows method is far better and my drive is now happy again!

Should I be installing Windows on the SSD and then downloading and running the update?

Can do it before or after, makes no difference. I'd do it afterwards and use the Windows version of the firmware update.

Cheers.

Windows installed in about 10 minutes

Just gonna run the update.

Hadn't seen this update!

I also thought it was safer to do the update from the CD/USB rather than through Windows? Anyone had issues with the Windows updater?

Any real reason to install this? I've had no problems with mine.....

If you're on 0009 or earlier you'll need to do it otherwise your system will start to freeze after 5200 hours.

Mine shipped with the latest firmware a few weeks back. Seems only the most recent update would be relevant for me.

About time we had a seamless way to upgrade the firmware without having to faff about with usb sticks!

Installed fine on a AsRock Z68 Extreme 4 Gen 3. Run the utility from windows, let it reboot and hey-presto.
