    Looks like 1.46 official is out.

    You're maxed though already on the basic benchmarks. If you want to see if there are other improvements compare iometer or some other metric old firm vs new.

    Make sure you get the latest transport. Transport is not included in the download on 1.46.

    Where can I download the transport file?

    Do you have a guide how to upgrade the firmware? Can i upgrade the firmware from windows.

    On my Adaptec 31605 it works fine to upgrade from windows

    Edit: Found the transport, but do not know what the transport file does :p

    ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/BIO...680/Transport/

    Edit 2: Got my 2gb memory upgrade for the ARC-1680ix and 2 more sas disks yesterday, so hoping for more speed.

    The memory is Supertalent STT 2048MB DDR2 533MHz ECC (128x8) Cl 4

    Use 4530 transport.
    Use the archttp desktop utility to update the firmware.

    Suggestion: Hook your card up to your router and use firefox to log into it using the card's IP.

    Go to the upgrade firmware section when you log in. Update ALL items (firm, boot, BIOS, mBR, transport) before you reboot.

    Don't mess it up or you risk major problems.
