Firmware update

Hi all

I have just purchased the Sandisk Extreme 120gb and was wondering if I should perform a firmware update before formatting, partitioning and installing Windows 7.

Many thanks

Yes, it’s better to do before OS installation. If the update fails, you lose only the drive (most likely into warranty), not the data you have already put in.

Feature-wise, the relase notes mention stuff that makes sense to update anyway (TRIM being one).
