I checked mine on my desktop today, mine is running 1.27, so I think that's the latest. No idea how you check on mac though.
SSD in my Mac Pro *updated with performance figures* (and video)

1.11?
Mine is 1.22.
Do you have the new Vertex 2e, old Vertex 2e or the original Vertex 2?

Well I ordered the Vertex 2E off the OcUK website?
There's 2 types;

Upgrading the firmware on mac isn't easy. I guess you could set up bootcamp and flash it that way. It has to be under windows.
This is what I ordered

Happy to do that to flash and delete it after, any instructions about?
Thanks

I'm off to sleep now, early start at work so can't get all the links for you, but you can get instructions and flashing tool off OCZs website.
Yes, I'm pretty sure you can, as long as the OS you're running is windows.
Hi Oz
I'm debating whether its worth it or not? I'm more than happy with it's performance as it stands now... If I did update would I really notice any difference probably not.....
Means stripping the drive out again and putting it in a caddy to update, I'm getting lazy in my old age lol
EDIT: Put my Speck clear on last night

I just booted into my Boot Camp partition which is on my normal HDD and run the Firmware updater tool but it didn't find my SSD. Boo.

Not a good start...
The 'c' key is really unresponsive, and doent usually work when typing normally, I have to press quit firmly to make it type.
I thought these Macbooks were meant to be built well

The results of my test:
The stock HDD is the 7200rpm 500GB by the way.
The test on the SSD was after the first clean boot (ie installed OS X, then restarted, then restarted again)
I'll do another after I install a few things on there and it settles down a bit.

Yeah, you need a T6 or someone when you're inside the machine too to take off the HDD mounts and a philips 0 screwdriver form the back of the MBP.

Yeah, it's time to send it back.
They are built well, but no more well built any other high end laptops, faults do happen. Sorry dude, they are pretty quick at collecting though. If you say you want a replacement they usually deliver the new one and collect the old on the same day.Not sure what to do with that. I've not tried it myself. Sorry.
290 isn't bad, I'd be happy with that. Xbench isn't always reliable anyway, it can go up and down. I get between 260-310 these days.
