Regarding your post. I have 2 OCZ SSD drives that were getting SMART errors with Linux. These are newer drives with Sandforce controller. These drives got SMART errors right out of the box with Linux. My 2 older OCZ SSD drives with Indilix controllers do not get SMART errors.
I checked the firmware version of my drives and it was 1.1. OCZ had a newer version 1.28 firmware update, so I gave it a shot. After I updated the firmware, no more SMART errors. The firmware update did the trick. There is only one problem. The firmware update does not have a Linux installer. You need to install Windows 7 or Vista on a separate boot drive, then boot from it to use the firmware tool. I did a temporary Windows 7 install to use the firmware tool. It was jind of a pain, but it's the only way I could do it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
