Anyone tried Crucial M4 Firmware 070H ?

Genoma · 10 Apr 2013 at 18:29

Anyone chanced t? I've stuck with 000F so far and there are still reports of drives disappearing from BIOS even though this update is supposed to fix it.

I'm still on 000F. I thought, why fix what isn't broke ?

bingo...

I've installed it on two drives in the last few days and had no problems so far. One of them was on the 009 firmware and was giving me awful grief until I found out about the 5000 hour bug

I haven't done any performance benchmarks

Genoma · 11 Apr 2013 at 11:12

does the 5000 hour bug exist on 000F?

pryere · 11 Apr 2013 at 11:12

I did the update to 040H from 0309 last month on 2 machines with no problems.
Surely not another update so soon...

No, that was fixed ages ago.

Yep running two drives on new firmware. No probs.

My advice to those on 000F is not to upgrade.

I just had a heck of a time trying to revive my M4 after upgrading to the latest version 070H.

The firmware update says it's failed, then if you run again claims it's already up to date. The next cold boot, the M4 won't be detected and will appear bricked. Follow the instructions here to fix the issue.

Essentially, just connect the power to the M4 and leave the PC in the BIOS for 30 min or so. Power off, then reconnect and reboot. Repeat a couple of times and the M4 will be detected again. Phew.

I`ve updated a few of the drives I`ve installed to the latest firmaware, and no problems apart from one PC that "threw a bit of a wobbly". I can't remember what the trouble was, but a small amount of panic, along with some faffing around got it back up and running again.

Over the past couple of years I`ve updated quite a few M4s, quite a few times with various versions of their firmware. I haven't (yet) had a drive fail on me.

I was on 0309 and updated to 070H a few days ago. It went seamlessly and I've noticed no problems since (crosses fingers...)

Indeed mate same here to

hornett · 21 May 2013 at 20:18

I have put the most recent one on as it started to crash its show 5521 hours. But its still crashing even with 070H

any ideas if its possible to put 000f on it?

se_vietboi · 21 May 2013 at 22:35

I rolled my drives back to 0309 as that's said to be the best.

NZB · 21 May 2013 at 22:50

Still on 0309 here. 8949 hours in and no problems so don't plan on fixing what ain't broke.

Where can i get 0309 please? cant find on main curcial page. ta

troops · 22 May 2013 at 02:12

Rolled back mine a few months ago to 0309 when 040h ( i think) came out, 0309 is supposed to be the best stable/speed wise.

pryere · 22 May 2013 at 11:32

I updated two drives a couple of days ago (from 040H) with no problems at all.
