- SATA III/6G Firmware Update version 1701 Tuesday, March 01, 2011 12:10 PM
http://www.evga.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=883389
The Firmware and Software below is applicable to the following mainboards:
Firmware Version 1.0.0.1701
The Firmware and Software below is applicable to the following mainboards:
- EVGA CLASSIFIED SR-2
- EVGA x58 CLASSIFIED 3
- EVGA X58 FTW 3
- EVGA X58 SLI 3
- It is strongly recommended that you backup any data on the SATAIII/6G drives if in a raid configuration before flashing the Marvell chipset. In rare occurrences the raid will degrade and could lose data.
- If this is a new installation, flashing of firmware is recommended before installation of data to the drive to minimize any issues that may occur after the flash if in a raid configuration.
- After firmware is flashed to the marvell controller the drivers should be reinstalled to avoid any possible issues that can arise as it recognizes the controller differently after the flash.
Firmware Version 1.0.0.1701
- Enhances AHCI compatibility
