Hilbert, according to the AS SSD screenie your unit has firmware 1.02!

I bought this unit over a month ago and it came with f/w 1.01 and I just looked for 1.02 on Plextor Digitals site but they only have 1.01!! Is that firmware available or is this a case of special treatment just for the review :)

Pretty quick, but damn expensive.
I have to choose a new SSD for Christmas, they have well and truly priced themselves out.

For the 256GB version, I wonder if those 260Euros include UK VAT at 20% ?!
For £150 inc vat, I can have a Vertex 4 256GB for example.

Hilbert maybe you could help I bought mine over 2 months ago and on their support forum they are very reluctant to answer/help much. My post over there yesterday is still unanswered. Any help I would be greatful for. Thanks

Just wondering if the release notes for 1.02 are available as well? Just because 1.02 is 'out there' doesn't mean we actually need it unless it fixes some nasty bug!!

1.0 was initial release
1.01 was so Plextool could be used
1.02 was submitted for the review for some reason, not to look bad I imagine
