OCZ have updated their most powerful tool for firmware upgrades, the Toolbox. This utility has reached version 3.01.11 and it will help you achieve better performance with your Solid State Drives.

The firmware update should be carried out only if you experience troubles and errors with the version you're currently running, OCZ stress. Since certain abnormal behaviour isn't likely to appear  with different computers, you should maybe run some tests and forget about upgrading in case the results are OK.

The OCZ 3.01.11 Toolbox can be used with the following SSDs: - OCZ Octane, - Onyx 32GB SSDs, - RevoDrive and RevoDrive X2, - Summit Series, - Vertex 2, - Vertex LE, - Agility 2, - Vertex 3, - Vertex 3 Max IOPS, - Agility 3, - Solid 3, - RevoDrive 3 and RevoDrive 3 X2, - Vertex Plus, - Vertex, Agility, - Vertex Turbo, - Vertex EX, - Solid 2.

As always, it is strongly advised that you should backup all data on your SSDs prior to initiating the firmware update process. You can download the OCZ Toolbox Firmware Updater 3.01.11 from Softpedia as of today, for free.
