One by one all the open apps are freezing ( I can't also start new ones) until everything freeze and I need a power cycle. Let's say this is solved but still I can reproduce it easily. Problem is not occurring when the drive is in GPT style and booth is in UEFI mode. Problem is not occurring with Windows 7 64bit in MBR style Problem is not occurring on full Power Cycle (Power OFF and Power ON the machine)

SSD drive is detected but the BIOS is not finding anything to boot in this condition If I have bootable USB drive I can load an OS and can freely copy,paste and modify the SSD. SSD is in MBR style partitions boot is done in Legacy mode. The 512GB version of the drive is not listed anywhere as supported by the Toolbox and FW Update Tool so I believe it is intended only for OEMs this is why I'm writing this because I'm unable to find any newer FW since the release of this drive but the rest of the Pro 2500 series obviously received one update.īOOT - BIOS is not detecting for boot Windows 8.1 64bit from the drive after what I would call soft RESTART (both after Win restart or some other OS or Ctrl+Alt+Del reboot after being in the BIOS). Let me repeat I'm with LB1i Intel lists TG21 as the latest one for the Pro 2500 series (on multiple places says I should use OEM provided firmware for the OEM drives). I also downloaded and checked 2 of the latest versions of Intel SSD Toolbox and the Intel SSD Firmware Update Tool but they state I'm with latest version of the firmware.

In short I have 2.5' Intel SSDSC2BF512A5 with Firmware: LB1i which turned out to be Dell OEM version of the drive obviously with custom firmware.īefore I go to the problems and what I did my question is simple is there any newer firmware for this device and can you provide it to me ? I checked Dell drivers section but there are firmwares only for the 2.5' 360GB and 180GB and mSATA 180GB.Any way I executed their setups and they informed that as of their current version there is no newer version of the firmware for my SSD.

2 Weeks ago I broke my rule not to get any second hand storage media but the price was too tempting.
