Firmware update: OCZ Vertex 3, Vertex 3 Max IOPS, Agility 3, Solid 3, RevoDrive 3 2.13

OCZ Technology has released new firmware for the Vertex 3, Vertex 3 Max IOPS, Agility 3 and Solid 3 series solid state drives. Updating the firmware is only possible if the drive is not the system disk under Windows. For user experiences with these and other ssds, you can visit our own GoT forum, where the big ssd topic has reached part 9. The changelog lists three resolved issues.

Issues resolved since version 2.11:

• Fixed a corner case issue in drive recovery after unsafe power cycles
• Further improved bad block managements after repeated unsafe power cycles
• Fixed an issue when a secure erase command was accepted even an uncorrected password was entered

Known open issue:

• Formatting a RAID1 volume takes longer than expected with PMC-Sierra BR-8 HBA
