This has appeared on a French Intel site today.
http://www.intel.com/cd/corporate/pr...fra/434654.htm
Key points include:
A new toolbox for management, information and diagnostics that will help keep the drives running at optimum performance.
X25-M 160 GB drives will see sequential write speed increase by 40 % compared to the current version of the firmware.
THX, will install as soon as im home..
Firmware links to old firmware and toolbox link is not a valid link any more.
:(
It looks like the french jumped the gun....but the links should be live soon. A revised spec sheet is now availble: http://download.intel.com/design/fla...eam/322296.pdf
Didn't the 160GB drive already write at like 90MB/s. So 10MB/s more?
The previous specs were officially 70MB/s now its 100MB/s. Random 4 KB writes@ (upto) 8,600 IOPS remain the same. The increase in sequential writes is only for the 160GB versions. Sequential speeds for the 80GB remain the same.Quote:

Nah, nevermind, ekerazha was quicker... :)
Whoever tries this first please post differences in performance if you can...Thank you...
Edit: synced
It's a shame only the 160 GB version got the sequential write boost :(
Nice, it looks like TRIM will be both auto or user scheduled. This is translated from the french Intel web site:
It (the new toolbox) also provides a user-friendly GUI that helps the user schedule and launch the TRIM regardless of the operating system command. For optimal performance, Intel recommends installing firmware updated and the Toolbox as well as the daily running of the TRIM command.
The links above takes me only to the 02G9 firmware to fix the BIOS password. The new update should be 02HA ... no?
yes, try refreshing your browser cacheQuote:

While users of Microsoft Windows* 7 will have native support built into the OS to take advantage of this new feature, Intel is also offering support for users of other Windows operating systems through the use of the Intel® SSD Toolbox
RAID support will come later...
SSD Toolbox is here: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/down...18182&lang=eng
