I have been asking the same question for two months now.

[macdaddy]

nada ... gskill support has gone missing. I had do do wipe last night. Mean breaking up raid and installing each ssd with os ..... come on we need it.

if you really want to, vertex and falcon are identical, you should be able to flash to ocz firmware. But super talent is not identical, do not use their version.

[macdaddy]

that is not a solution where is gskill we want it straight from him .... why are we lagging behind when ocz has theirs ready.

You are right. I flashed right now my two Falcon drives to 1.1 Vertex, than 1.1 Vertex to 1.3 Vertex and finaly 1.3 Vertex to 1.41 Vertex (Garbage collection version). Everything without problems. Now my G.SKill Falcon drives shows as OCZ Vertex drives 1.41. I probably lost my guarantee with doing this, but it should be no problem to flash it back to G.SKill Falcon if needed...

I don't think it cool if we have to turn are falcons into vertex and void at all.
I hope i don't have to end up buying a patriot torqx i mean come on at least we could get a g.skill rep to let us know what's going on ( these are my first gskill ssd's and if there support is going to stay like this then it will possible be my last which would suck cause so far i love my falcons ) my a-data'a ssd's are a little bit faster
but the vertex and patriot torqx have there's already ( firmware )

[Griffyj]

I don't see a lot of support for anything on these forums, just excuses as to when they will be released. Sorry to be so blunt but I am P..... over these drives, you spend top dollars for them and after a couple of months they are slower then a normal drive.

bought intel g2 ssd never looked back. oh i also grabbed a ocz agility for my lappy. no more g.skill for me.

with windows 7 64bit, the wiper act as the trim function, when I click on wiper.exe the windows says : sending Trim command and it's doing it's job very well.. much better support than with Vista....so in my view, only those with a raid setup are in need of a new firmware for now ..

My only wish is that in order to install the next firmware, we won't have to get ready to loose the OS and datas. Yes the support seem to be rather on the low side, but also, why would they give the same answer 12 times anyway.

Thank you for your patience everybody, we have been working hard on it for the past couple months. We will have it released shortly.

For the love of God, plz tell me it's not "destroy all data" flasher

hopefully 'shortly' means within the next few days and not 2 months down the road

Good news at last. I was about to turn it into a Vertex.

[macdaddy]

G skill i would like to see 2 forms of firmware flash. A destructive one and none destructive one. As a raid 0 user i like the destructive one where it cleans my falcons. I can the raid them back again and just image back my OS.
