SSD firmware update …
Before starting the tests, we’ve updated the Plextor SSD to the latest firmware version. The SSD was delivered with firmware 1.02 and at the review date, Plextor has released the firmware version 1.04. The update of the Plextor firmware is relatively simple: Download the latest firmware from Plextor, burn the px-128m5m_1.04.iso ISO file on a CD or transfer it with a suitable software to a USB stick, boot with this CD-ROM or USB thumb drive and confirm the SSD firmware update.
