    Intel 520 SSD Firware Upgrade


    I have two Intel 520 SSD's and want to upgrade the firmware on the primary OS drive. This can't be done with Windows installed correct?

    As I recall, Windows can be installed, but you use a CD. You download an ISO and burn it to a disk.

    Check the above 2 links.

    All the instructions will be on the same page as the firmware update at Intel.

    The 520 is almost brand new. A new FW this quickly is unlikely but possible.
