SSD only stable when external?

It seems the latest firmware for the 2008s is 1.3 so it looks like you have the latest firmware for your computer. I wonder if it might be worth trying different firmware versions for the hard drive. I am not sure if you need a windows machine to change the firmware in the owc drives, but it would be worth a try.

OWC have already had it back and updated the drives fw as well as the Sandforce one.

I dont have a pc to update the firmware myself.

People have had issues with the X-25 here and their. The amount of people here who have the OWC in Mac's is far greater than Intel and so if we factor in the problems compared to the amount of users, then OWC has the least thus far. I am working on a spreadsheet on this actually. Thus far, OCZ has had the most.

Now, if we factor in the sleep issue, then Intel has far fewer problems than any as does the current Kingston as it is also an Intel X-25.

It's posts like these that remind me why I have stopped reading these forums. Vague, vacuous, and poorly written subjectivity pawned off as fact without any evidence.

Thanks for the reminder.
