#Ocz vertex 3 firmware 2.50 trial

Getting the right combination isn't an exact science it's trial and error. If I recall correctly, disabling the JMicron controller worked to the same effect. I pick on the Marvell SATA3 controller a lot because under every circumstance that I've tried, disabling that component alone will let the OCZ BIOS load. If you're really curious, there's always : By the same train of thought, "Load Optimized Defaults" turns on nearly ALL of the aforementioned ROMs, ensuring that the OCZ BIOS never loads (until you perform the update, this is a desirable condition). When I say "disable some option ROMs" I mean disable any combination of "features" on the SR-2 to a point where you can verify the OCZ optionROM has loaded correctly.

Some examples on the SR-2 include: the Marvell SATA3 controller, the JMicron SATA to IDE bridge, ACHI, etc. What do you mean by this: "disable some option ROMs to free space" where is this in the BIOS?Īn Option ROM, in short, is firmware that is invoked by the BIOS to provide specific functionality while the system is not fully loaded into an operating system. If you look carefully on the board, the silk screen print right next to the connector it reads: "PCIe Slot 4-7 of Power".

The lone PCIe power connector is only required if you install anything in the lower 4 slots. Should i be plugging in the 6 pin power supply (required for multi gpu) to power my PCI set up or is it not necessary? I want this damn thing to work as advertised! I paste-binned some "real-world" results using copymark:Ĭopy into a text editor and save as CSV then open in Excel to save your eyes.Įach test would suggest that the drive is getting x1 (!) PCIe bandwidth. My first impression that it's the card itself that's at fault especially when I give it its own NF200. All I can get from the drive is 2.5Gb/s-OCZ claims that under this condition, the drive isn't getting the necessary bandwidth. A major problem that I'm noticing is that no matter what kind of card config I use, I can't get the drive to report the correct PCIe bandwidth which apparently is 5.2Gb/s. Every single time I run ATTO it backs off at 32kb. What kind of overall transfer speed does Windows Explorer report when you copy a large file from the Revo 3 X2 to some other location on the same drive? I'd be more worried about that, than any artificial benchmarks. Is that result reproducible? Your ATTO output looks just like all the published online Revo 3 X2 benchmarks up to 32 KB transfer size, at which you experienced some kind of glitch and then the drive recovers, but not fully. I even jumpered off my second 590-same thing. I tried the card in 5,6,7-all give the same miserable results. My 590's are watercooled and I can't move them around at the moment. Try it on slot 1 if you can on some motherboards for this drive it makes a huge impact.

#Ocz vertex 3 firmware 2.50 update

You have to update within a working Windows install. Finally-a fast solid-state solution beyond the (mediocre) Marvel SATA3 controller for the SR-2.Īpparently, this does not work. The process of enabling/disabling option ROMs are the same. To make a bootable linux USB drive that can update the BIOS and firmware. If you don't have a working Windows install then follow the instruction's here: Enter the BIOS again an select "REVODRIVE X" as the boot drive. Make sure you can see the OCZ BIOS load.ħ. Reboot, and go into the SR-2 BIOS and disable some option ROMs to free space. Update ONLY the firmware using the OCZ Toolbox.

Install the lastest drivers within your working Windows install.Ĥ. Load Optimized defaults in the SR-2 BIOS, power down, physically install the Revo.Ģ. So if you already have a working Windows install, then:ġ. I imagine it will take some time for this new BIOS/Firmware combo to make it through the supply channel, so you will need to first deny the drive option-ROM space (if using an SR-2 for the update), update it, then start working with it. Yes! My Revodrive 3 X2 240GB now functions properly as a Windows boot drive on the EVGA SR-2!

#Ocz vertex 3 firmware 2.50 windows 7

I'm going to give installing Windows 7 a go.

Now let's see if this bad boy is bootable! I just booted the OCZ BIOS and no 0085!!! I'm going to load up the latest OCZ firmware and give it a go.
