Is there anywhere that describes what changes are occurring in firmware per version? BTW. I'm a big fan of mydigital. Thanks, Michael |

Kilwon, We simply updated the original blog post on May 1st with a couple disclaimers, no new firmware was added. As of this post, S5FAM017_FW.zip is the latest firmware update. |

Hi, i have a MyDigitalSSD mSATA 64gb and i am getting performance issue. I did FW updates and it a little bit work but still so slow. if i want to copy files its really fast but if i want to use disk as a system disk, than it gets slow. If i want to install something like windows update, it is getting really slow like it freezed. And it gets me really hard to work. |

I have a x220 and the performance of the SSD is extremely poor, it is even slower than my 2.5" 320GB HDD, even with the S5FAM017_FW.zip. Very bad SSD |

Well almost two weeks since I update my SSD VERBATIM BLACK EDITION with fwS5FAM017 it runs fluently; before it works for nothing and I was going to throw it to trash can when I found this forum. The instructions where very clear and I succeed without problems. The only problem updating the firmware is that you must backup your files because after all is gone! Thanks very much to MyDigitalDiscount.com!!! |

Marco, For Mac users without the ability to upgrade, we could possibly install the update for you if you were to ship the drive back. Anyone interested can simply, contact info@mydigitaldiscount.com and we'll try to set something up based on where you're located. |
