New SSD need Bios update?

[mazinger]

Hi guys been a while, my project R3E is on hold atm, as i need to re-house my main pc to a new Codemaster 690II case, at the same time i got myself a Intel X25-V sata SSD 40GB, now here my question, is there anyway to check if my SSD drive needed firmwares update? where can i check, and how to do the update on a new build (ie: no window installed, everything new) i also need to check this on my Crucial RealSSD C300 128GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s SSD for my project R3E as well, so any advices will be very grateful, Thank

Regards
Tony

Project R3E hopefully restarting soon....

PS: the title should have been "New SSD need firmwares update?"

The firmware revision is printed on the label of intel drives on the front. Was on my x25mg2.
