OCZ has never stated Secure Erase will reset DuraClass parameters.
firmware update does? a destructive FW flash definitely would i imagine. im afraid to update the FW on this here vertex LE, its on the original and still fast as heck. but im wondering if the newer FW might have some more draconian/stringent Duraclass parameters written into them.
