Download Firmware OCZ Vertex 3, Vertex 3 Max IOPS, Agility 3, Solid 3, RevoDrive 3 2.22

OCZ Technology released new firmware last week for the Vertex 3, Vertex 3 Max IOPS, Agility 3 and Solid 3 series solid state drives. Officially, updating the firmware is only possible if the drive is not the Windows system disk, but there is an OCZ form little tool available where it is possible. 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. The changelog reports the following changes and improvements:

Issues resolved since version 2.15:

• Improved handling on prolonged resume from partial to slumber state
• Fixed an issue when abnormal amounts of secure erases could cause incorrect block P/E counts to be reported in SMART data.
• Performance improvement on some benchmarks

Known open issues:

• Formatting a RAID-1 Volume takes longer than expected with PMC Sierra BR-8 HBA
