I updated within the last day or so. If anything, performance seems snappier, not that it wasn't snappy anyway.

Since I am religious about doing my drive images (I kneel and pray before running Macrium), I think I'll stick with 0309. If things go rotten at some point I'll flash the firmware with the new one.
[QUOTE=mjf;1884673]Agreed! NEVER, NEVER flash the firmware of any SSD to an old version.
If the SSD won't work for some reason with the new FW and all other fixes to moboard and Windows are exhausted it may be time to contact the SSD manufacturer to RMA the SSD.
Most SSD have at least a 3 year warranty and some are 5 years.

Hi
Has anyone read about the new Crucial SSD Firmware yet and did you update it ?

[QUOTE=Hopalong X;1885216]Fortunately for me, rolling back from this latest firmware 10G to 0F works fine. With the new 10G firmware, my m4 would sometimes not be recognized by the BIOS on boot, like others have experienced.
The improved TRIM response time for the 10G firmware appears to be at the cost of write latency.
If you really want to see some performance improvements, update to the latest official intel RST drivers 11.6.0.1030. My 4k writes improved form low 80 MB/s to 110 MB/s with these.
I have 3 Crucial SSD's and I flashed the updated firmware on two of them with ease but the one in my main rig wouldn't even with unhooking all other drives it still wasn't being seen by the firmware. So I had to remove it and place it in my laptop and bing, bang, boom.....done and then placed it back in my main rig. I also picked up speed in WEI but it never seemed to slow down in real life.
