OCZ Agility 3 firmware ? Am i being stupid - can't DL

[johnwm]

I have tried to update my OCZ agility 3 SSD drives to a newer version of firmware (hear that 2.15 is a decent one to use) bc they are basically crap drives that crash all the time. I searched on the web and found the OCZ firmware download link on their site, however in the drop down menu the agility 3 is not listed anywhere? and i can't find anything elsewhere except the OCZToolbox_v4.9.0.634 which is not much help bc i have windows on my drive and need to do a clean erase and a firmware update, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Since Toshiba took over the only way to seemingly update their drives is with the OCZ SSD utility

Thats pretty stupid of OCZ. Whats the point in having a program that updates firmware. If you cant update it if Windows is on it lol

Glad I didnt buy an OCZ ssd

I couldn't agree more....

And it was Toshiba that decided that, OCZ failed as a company anyhow , so....

Agree about the firmware upgrade issue, but I always sue toupgrade mine on a reinstall.

Have 3x 120GB OCZ Agility 3's and never had a problem, still going strong.

Well I bought 200 of 960GB OCZ 3700 and I had a heck of a time getting OCZ (as part of Toshiba) to push the updated firmware though the stupid utility (they finally did) . And these are enterprise class SSD's with no other means of updating, I had two docks going all bloody day.

On the high point I've only had two fail out of 200 over this 18 months.

Can anyone possibly upload the 2.15 to google so I can download it and burn onto a .iso disk and I'll buy them a few beers, or pm if you can possibly help - I literally can't use my PC properly right now so any help would be greatly appreciated

I contected OCZ on fcebook, they provided me with a 2.15 firmware direct download, which was really helpful
