14 DAY TRIAL // Plextor has outed a new firmware package targeted at its M5Pro solid state drives, namely version 1.07 compatible with the PX-128M5Pro, PX-256M5Pro, and PX-512M5Pro units, which can be applied regardless of the operating system.
When it comes to changes, this fresh release resolves a lag issue that was encountered in certain conditions and improves the suitable devices’ overall response ability while executing and operating GC.
With this in mind, if you consider making use of these newly-added enhancements, you should first back up all important files from the SSD you are about to update. The upgrade process isn’t intended to be destructive, however, we recommend doing so in order to avoid any data loss.
Afterwards, get the appropriate firmware file for your SSD model, burn the .iso file to a blank CD or DVD, and boot the system from the optical disc. Take into account that the computer might not automatically perform this task, in which case you must change the BIOS’ boot priorities.
When the system has successfully booted from the update CD, hit the “Enter” key, now type and confirm “Y,” and wait for the process to finish. Also, upon completion, simply remove the optical disc, reboot the computer, and you’re done.
That being said, download Plextor M5Pro SSD Firmware 1.07 for the appropriate model, take into account all aforementioned steps, apply the update and enjoy your newly-improved solid state drive.
