Download Firmware OCZ Vertex 4 1.4

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 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. In this release, especially the sequential writing speed has been greatly improved. Keep in mind that all data on the SSD will be overwritten, so making a backup is necessary.

Information:

• This is a destructive update. You MUST backup your data before performing the firmware update.

Enhancement:

• Increased read performance at low queue depths
• Improved sequential write performance for 128GB and 256GB models
• Increased performance under specific workloads of mixed reads and writes
• Increased read performance on small file sizes (lower than 4K)

Fixed:

• Improved host compatibility with dated / uncommon BIOS revisions
• Improved stability when resuming from S3/S4 on older generation motherboards
