Factory Performance after Firmware update

[bjone]

thankyou for your feedback bjone...we will await a reply from gskill tech to see how exactly the firmware update process erase procdure is executed...i dont think you are correct about your allocation structure explanation, since ocz drives are exactly the same and their firmware updates do not require the drive to be erased.

From 1816 to 1916. Perhaps others.
But there were some firmware update causing a flash erase no ?
And i quite remember seeing on OCZ forum users asking for erasing-variants for 1916 (they used to flash to do a cleanup i suppose).
(OCZ firmware version numbers are different, but whatever they are provided and mostly tuned by Indilinx from their internal builds)

On the firmware development side there are updates which are due to the refactoring of the internal structures (=>flash erase), and others just to minor-bugfix (no flash erase).

(BTW sorry if my first post offended some people, i tried to be efficient )
