OCZ SSD Utility 3.1.3270 64-bit

This is a maintenance release of SSD Utility, with the following enhancements:

- Support added for RC100.

Known Issues:

- TL100 Firmware update may fail on Windows 7 if the Intel RSTe driver is installed. To work around this, use bootable SSD Utility to perform the update.
- TL100 benchmark results may degrade if re-run immediately after a previous benchmark. Workaround is to wait a minute or two before re-running the benchmark.
- On some PCs it is impossible to perform secure-erase: this happens if the PC BIOS issues SECURITY FREEZE LOCK the drive, and does not implement the suspend/resume cycle used to unfreeze it. Workaround is to use the secure erase feature in the BIOS if there is one, otherwise to perform secure erase on another PC.
- On some laptops with dual Intel & NVIDIA graphics, SSD Utility may crash. This can be fixed by updating the Intel & NVIDIA drivers.
- The mouse cursor is not displayed when using Bootable SSD Utility with a DisplayPort connection with a GeForce 1070. Workaround is to boot in safe mode.
- Due to a bug in version 2.2.2645, when using the update feature from within the application, the update may fail with a message “Error installing.” Workaround is to download manually the latest version from ocz.com.
- Secure Erase will produce an error if the target drive is in use (for example, drive is being read or written to).
- The text on the Setup - Notifications pane “Suppress unsafe power loss alerts” is not clickable unlike other text in this area.
- In a rare corner case, the password hint may become corrupted. While the password hint is corrupted, the password remains, and the XS700 can be locked/unlocked.

About SSD Toolbox:

The Solid State Drive (SSD) Toolbox is an update utility that properly recognizes the SSD unit(s) installed on your system. It also displays various pieces of information regarding the connected storage devices and searches for a new suitable firmware version.

However, before you consider downloading this version, carefully read the release notes for changes that can apply to your SSD. Once you have updated your drive, reboot to make sure that all modifications take effect.

When it comes to installing this software, the steps are very easy because all you have to do is get the downloadable package (extract it if necessary) and run the available setup. Once the installation is complete, run the Toolbox and follow the instructions for updating the SSD.

That being said, make sure this Toolbox version has a new firmware version available for your solid state drive and, if so, hit the download button, and install the software. Otherwise, check with our website as often as possible so that you don't miss the release that can improve your SSD.
