Greetings all, post #1.
I've got a pair of 90GB Force 3's running as a RAID 0 system drive, built in Oct 2012.
I updated the firmware from (IIRC) 5.02 to 5.03 before the Win 7 install, and the machine has run completely and utterly flawlessly for over 2 years (once got BSOD courtesy of software), with sequential read/write speeds c. 420 MB/s & 175 MB/s in Crystaldiskinfo, which seem pretty good.
TRIM works perfectly - the Intel Z77 chipset was (fortunately) the first to support it in RAID (I didn't know what TRIM was when I started the build).
So, is there any reason I should update to the latest firmware? I ask because it's bit of a palaver with the RAID - I'd have to set the SSD's back to AHCI in the BIOS then use a DOS boot device.
