    Yeah I'm currently RMA-ing my Vertex 3. It freezes constantly. I should have gone with a different brand o_O The firmware I had was 2.22. Maybe 2.25 will fix some of my issues.

    I've been updating my ssd's from winpe. Their update tool won't update the primary drive. It must check if it's drive C. If you use diskpart and assign a different drive letter, ie C: to S:,
    you can then update the drive. OCZ is the only brand I need to do this. All other brands no issues...

    Mine wouldn't even load windows on it anymore. It would freeze at "Completing Installation". I tried secure wiping it and everything. As for the tweaks, I don't bother either. :biggrin:

    No need to re-install windows !

    Hi.
    Is no need to re-install your windows ! just make a bootable cd and boot from cd, is easy to update
    OR, if you want to boot from usb stick or memory card, search on google this "primary ssd firmware update usb" and i followed guide from demisia site.
    Tested by me for OCZ Agility 3, updated to 2.25
