Dear Community,
I have the weirdest issue on my new 240Gb Kingston HyperX SSD.
Factory release is firmware 501 revision and logically wanted to update to current 503 before installing Win 7 64Gb
I used the tool kit from their website and slaved the drive in my current setup; it correctly identified the drive and performed the update with the green "correct" tick mark.
Verified by rescanning the disks and it still reports version 501
I have subsequently tried this after the Win 7 install - with the zipped file extracted to the SSD itself and other local drives.
I have downloaded the app again, 3 times = all in all I have tried about 15 times from different locations, still saying 501
Used an independent tool to verify the drive ans still reports it on 501
Any ideas please as my native read speed is only 300 and writing 240 - this is under par
Running of a ASUS Rampage III Formula Motherboard on Marvel SATA3 6Gb connector with new SATA3 cable.
I am aware that due to a lack of knowledge beforehand I initiated the drive in IDE mode and not AHCI - I will redo the drive if I can get the firmware issue sorted and to be sure I don't have a physical disk issue
Any help and/or guidance will be appreciated
Thank you
Eugene
