When the firm 1916???

[funtonic]

Gskill are often late!!!
When the new firm arrived?

Crucial have it!!!

I hope go 1571 to 1916!!!

[sbehring]

Not only Crucial... Supertalent released the FW 1916 too. It is the same situation as with FW 1819. I am sure, G.SKILL will release new firmware in the near future, you have to wait...

I didn't even realize there was a new firmware...are people hearing good things about this new firmware?...I'm still on 1571 and am waiting for a new firmware that matches the performance of 1571 with the TRIM feature of 1819...is 1916 that good?

sounds like an awesome firmware...no performance drops like with 1819...I hope it will be made available for the Falcon 1 drives and not only the newer Falcon 2's

The supertalent has gc on the FW update

[attempt2]

OCZ have their version of this now too (1.5)

Come on G.Skill, give us an update on when we can expect it!!!

judging by G.Skill's track record on releasing firmware it might be another month or so

but I gotta give G.Skill credit because they always do extensive testing before releasing any new firmware...with firmware 1819 OCZ, SuperTalent etc released the FW pretty quickly but ran into many issues forcing them to pull the firmware and re-release it a few times...with G.Skill you can expect a solid, stable FW when they do decide to release it...I'd rather have a stable firmware versus a quick release one for the sake of keeping up with OCZ

I hope that coming quickly.

I doubt it will be any time soon. I think I am going to flash my Falcons to the OCZ 1.5 firmware, then I know I will have GC working in Raid0.

Yes i hope there will be a 1916.

Ive tested many times all i can say that trim doesnt work successfully
without Performance Degradation.

The Drive is getting slower i have Original AHCI Microsoft Drivers in use.

The Garbage Collection internal is much better i think.

I wish someone from G.Skill would at least make some kind of comment on the status of the 1916 firmware...1916 sounds very good and I'm sure requires very little tweaking unlike FW 1819...this should not be taking so long to release

either way some kind of target release date announcement would be very helpful
