I updated mine F60 to firmware 2.0. It was pretty easy.
IIRC it got be in version 1.1 first before the upgrade to firmware 2.0.

Tho Corsair says there is a risk of losing the data after firmware upgrade, my data was intact after upgrade.
Happy trying. Hope that helps.

And I got "shoot" by my other half for buying this. She said so expensive for little improvement

I'll show her tomorrow

Well, semen delivered vaginally does work as an anti-depressant. So you should shoot away.

You should also research on the SSD you want first. Some smaller capacity SSDs has severe performance degradation because there are less chips to store data in parallel.

You can take a look at my Excel attachment and filter the data for the information you want.

Problem solved

the initial pre-production vertex3 pro seems to be very impressive

OCZ Vertex 3 PRO review

The entire OCZ Vertex 3 Pro Preview: The First SF-2500 SSD and all the comments from Anandtech.

As much as the performance is nice, the expected pricing for the upcoming Vertex 3 Pro with 25nm flash is terrible.

100GB = RM1,598.89 = RM15.99/GB
200GB = RM2,360.26 = RM11.80/GB
400GB = RM4,111.43 = RM10.29/GB

The cheapest OCZ Vertex 2 120GB available today is only RM839 for RM6.99/GB.

No way I'm going to pay for that and so much for 25nm flash bringing the price down.



On another point, the 3,000 program/erase cycle limit for 25nm flash can be worrying for some people. Here's one way you can view that limit to mitigate your worries. If you're looking for a 3 year lifespan:

3000 / (3 years * 365.25 days) = 2.74 writes/day

This means for a 100GB SSD, you may write about 274GB everyday for 3 years. 548GB/day for 200GB SSDs and 82.2GB/day for 30GB SSDs. Practically impossible for normal usage.

If you're looking at 10 year lifespan:

3000 / (10 years * 365.25 days) = 0.82 writes/day

This means for a 100GB SSD, you need to write 82GB everyday for 10 years. Also practically impossible for normal usage. Users with 5mbps broadband can hit at most 52GB of writes a day; and only need to worry about this if their SSDs are smaller than 64GB.

Actually the cheapest that I've encountered (and bought ) is RM799 at viewnet.

Oh, that's nice. Looks like I'll need to go visit their respective sites for the latest updates.

The vertex 2 comes with 3 years warranty also ?

Losing data doesn't matter much to me since the SSD will be installed on a new laptop.

But thanks for the heads up on the 1.1 to 2.0 tip!

Intel 510 Series Launching on 1st March

280 USD for 120GB

haha, looking forward for the price drop.

fuh, that's a relief to read ur explanation bro, thanx for the info bro!! i just placed an order for the OCZ Vertex2 240GB at rm1380, glad to know with normal usage it'll at least last more than 3 years.

oh by the way, u mentioned ''548GB/day for 200GB SSDs''<<---- if i installed my SSD on my laptop alredy, then i play games like modern warfare2 and call of duty:black ops, will these games write up to 548GB/day on my SSD??

You're welcome.

After installation, most games will find it difficult to exceed even 1GB of writes a day. I wouldn't worry about it.

Btw, where are you getting a 240GB for so cheap?

I ordered from lowyat forummer ronaldjoe. he doesnt keep ready stock of vertex2 240GB, only 120GB, so he had to make special order.
