OCZ Vertex 3/ Vertex 3 Max IOPS firmware update - BSOD fix

[GetFound]

OCZ has released a new firmware update that helps fix random BSOD's with their sata III drives. 2.15

Issues resolved since version 2.13:

 Fixed a rare condition that may cause Windows Blue Screen error when the primaryconfigured drive woke up from either a SATA slumber mode or S3/S4 modes

 Fixed a rare condition that may cause Windows Blue Screen error when the drive was

configured as primary with OS installed

 Fixed a corner-case issue that may cause the drive to stutter or Windows freezing screen

when a media read error occurred

 Further improved robustness of Secure Erase operation to prevent possible low-level data

structure corruption

 Significantly improved TRIM handling to enhance system stability
