So I've just received my Crucial M4 128GB SSD - Couldn't pass up the deal OcUK was doing!

My motherboard is the Asus P8Z68-v PRO, would I be right in assuming that I use the 6GB/s SATA cable and the SATA 6GB/s connectors on my MOBO?

Secondly, the firmware 0009 release for the SSD, is it just as simple as installing a new driver onto it or is a completely different process altogether?

Please advise.

Thanks in advance!
 
Just a quick update - firmware install went perfect.

However, there has been some mixup between my SSD and HDD -

SSD is not picked up in the UEFI BIOS boot priority yet I have managed to install Windows 7 onto it.

My 1TB WD Caviar Black is being picked up in UEFI BIOS boot priority but when booted up into Windows 7 it is not being picked up in My computer as a second drive.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
This is what my disk management looks like:

It's there but just doesn't want to be recognised.
 
Done it, again thanks for the help, appreciate it. Everything seems to be working fine.

SSD still isn't being picked up in UEFI BIOS but it doesn't matter really since it's the only one with the Windows 7 on it so it default boots from it regardless.

Now onto overclocking my i5! Wooh!
