Hi friends, today's tutorial we will see how we update the firmware for OCZ Vertex SSDs 2, Vertex LE, Agility 2. The method that we use is the recommended both for those who use Windows as the main operating system and for those who use Linux or Mac OS.
What helps a firmware update for OCZ Vertex SSDs 2, Vertex LE, Agility 2?
Firmware is a small file that instructs the controller, set them boundaries and tells the device how and what should be the behavior of the device (SSD) in different situations. Practically there are rules that will work SSD. By update firmware can eliminate any problems that occur on some motherboards, can fix the bugs of the device may improve technologies that come with this device may become compatible with some motherboards with up to when a firmware update was not compatible, you can set or remove certain limitations set by the manufacturer.
In this case, the new firmware 1.37 solve the problem of blue screen (BSOD) that occurs when the PC enters sleep mode
If we want to make update firmware in Windows should fulfill several conditions, namely:
- Windows should not be installed on the SSD
- To have AHCI support and to be activated in the BIOS
Now I do not know if anyone will stand to do a reinstall of Windows on a disk just to meet the conditions and make SSD firmware update.
Well, the method outlined today will allow us to do firmware updates even if Windows is installed on the SSD and even if we do not support AHCI (as happens in my case)
What does exactly the method outlined in the tutorial?
- to have at hand a 512 MB or 1 GB stick or an empty CD
- to download Universal USB Installer
- to download the ISO OCZ Tools image (a live Linux distribution created by OCZ). Live means an operating system that can be run from a CD or USB stick without the need to install it.
- to make the bootable USB stick with the help of Universal USB Installer as shown in the tutorial or to burn the downloaded ISO image.

- to make sure that we have the computer on which the SSD is located, connected to a router and that we have already created the internet connection in the router or to have a wireless network card on the PC where the SSD is located because the firmware will have to be downloaded from the internet during the update process.
The further you find them in the tutorial video course.
CAREFUL: Videotutorial.ro not responsible for cases of failure and bring the device breaks down. Due to varied existing hardware market and incompatibility with other hardware, the risk that the update to fail and lead to SSD failure.
That said, I invite you to watch the video tutorial to see exactly how it is updated firmware for OCZ Vertex SSD 2, Le Vertex, Agility 2

the video quality is very poor ... I didn't expect it!
I see that go pretty hard with all the SSD PC. I think I'll stay a while on hdd. so I sata3 on the motherboard.
I don't know how you count the boot time ... you probably take into account the post boot which will always be the same no matter what SSD you put ....
My SSD is one of the old generation, SATA 2 and yet look how long booting Windows 8. Show me a HDD that have Windows on it with the hottest, deep and harsh settings / performance optimization that 7 to boot in seconds. This is proof here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XzpSyBKaMs
I have a gigabyte motherboard has SATA ports and can mount 2 3 SATA HDD or SSD?
But their speed will be limited. You will have the "speed" of SATA2: http://sarcomputer.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/sata2_vs_sata3.jpg?w=600&h=305&h=305
Well, what do you do on the PC and start counting after 15 seconds? started for 30 seconds. this is how my pc starts in 30 seconds without ssd and i have windows 7 loaded with all the nonsense - it is known that windows 8 has a boot time less than 7. if i put windows 8 it starts faster than 30 seconds. boot as boot ... but when you hit the device manager after the shutdown it took a few seconds to open it. I don't know at least I was expecting more from an SSD.
I can not say that some parts of the tutorial did not come in desktop capture. Room for only part of my desktop.
Device Manager was open a long time ago. it seems to you that it took a long time because I had to keep looking at the camera display to see where I have to pull the window so that it enters the "range" of the camera's capture.
Details easy to understand and notice by any man with little logic. Unless you're only 10 years old. then I understand you perfectly ...
Don't be upset but you are a bit parallel to the PCs and you talk around here for no reason, it counted after 15 seconds because that time is not part of the boot, during that time the motherboard works and has nothing to do with the storage part that it is ssd or hdd and how efficient it is. this 1 in hand, 2 in hand look at these tutorials to see what an ssd can do besides an hdd and we'll talk later https://www.videotutorial.ro/?p=2981 si https://www.videotutorial.ro/?p=7273 .
Hello,
I have a question even if not part of the subject mentioned by you
I want to change icons (icons) fonts W7 with the XP, those representing sites TTF, OTF. The latter are more obvious than in W7, not being able to distinguish between TTF and OTF.
Can this be? Those who have not spoken, I never asked, they told me some .dll something that should be changed. Please much if I can reply.
Thank you in advance.
Hello tuturor.Voi make tutorials about SSDs?
I wonder how many users have something in the PC?
I wonder how many users throw money on that?
Try to present something of interest even to 70% of no. visitors that you have.
From what I see from reviews, this tutorial has not satisfied anyone.
If I'm doing a tutorial with a PC costing $ 20.000, or a laptop that cost $ 3.000 as credti
is anyone interested? Answer ... NO (maybe 0,1% for those with money)
You have very good tutorials and great respect utile.UN
In the past you presented to 800 RON.Aveti Mainboard impression that we were born in
bani.Raspuns ... NOT
Hats off to the tutorials in the past, but that does not mean you always right.
I was not displease not critical, try to tell you where wrong.
