OCZ has just announced the availability of firmware 1.01 targeted at its ARC 100 and Radeon R7 solid state drives (SSDs), which is a mandatory update that brings numerous stability and reliability improvements and should be applied as soon as possible.

Moreover, version 1.01 enhances the SSD’s read retry on bad block list, as well as its robustness of uncorrectable error handling, and resolves a specific problem with DDR corruption on 480GB capacity drives.

When it comes to upgrading your drive to this release, first you must download the appropriate Toolbox for your system configuration and SSD model.

Specifically speaking, OCZ has provided its users with a 4.9.0.634 version for the ARC 100 device, as well as a 4.7.1.358 Toolbox that has been developed only for its Radeon R7 solid state drives.

In addition to that, both versions include a Mac OS, Linux, and Windows compatible package. Bear in mind that the latter archive is suitable for both 32- and 64-bit variants of Windows 7 , 8, and 8.1 operating systems.

Moving forward, after saving and installing the proper Toolbox on your computer, run it and follow all instructions displayed onscreen in order to successfully update your SSD to firmware 1.01.

That being said, download OCZ ARC 100 SSD Firmware 1.01 or download OCZ Radeon R7 SSD Firmware 1.01, take into account all aforementioned aspects, and constantly check our website to stay “updated one minute ago.”
