Download Firmware OCZ Vertex 4 1.5

OCZ Technology has released new firmware for the Vertex 4 series solid state drives. Officially, updating the firmware is only possible if the drive is not the Windows system disk, but there is a guide through the OCZ forum. little tool available that it can. For user experiences with these and other SSDs you can visit our own GoT forum, where the large SSD topic is now working on part 9. Although making a backup before performing the update is always recommended, the data on the SSD will not be overwritten this time, unless an update is made from a version older than 1.4. The changelog for this release looks like this:

Enhancements:

• Improved sequential file transfer performance for 128GB, 256GB and 512GB models
• Optimized idle garbage collection algorithms to extend the benefits of performance mode by enabling the feature across a greater percentage of the drive
• Improved HBA / RAID card compatibility
• Further improved compatibility with desktop and mobile ATA security features

Fixes:

• Corrected a corner case issue where the ‘Remaining Life’ SMART attribute could be reported incorrectly
