    Crucial M4 new Firmware 002 feedback on Dell L702x

    ear Folks,

    Has anyone tried the new Crucial Firmware 002 on the M4 SSD?

    I installed my SSD last night (still can't find USB3 drivers) - and boot up time is circa 20 seconds!

    However, it "stutters" and after clicking on My Computer, it can "wait" for 20-30 seconds before responding...Apparently the Firmware fixes these issues.

    My CDM results on a 128Gb M4 (DellL207x, 2630QM) is:
    Read Write
    Sequential 385 180
    Rand 512k 333 197
    Ran 4k 21 40
    Rand QD32 240 171

    If anyone has experience on this Firmware 002 ( http://forum.crucial.com/t5/Solid-S...2-Firmware-Update-feedback-Thread/td-p/52030) OR can locate good USB3 drivers - this would be apprecaited.

    The first feedback I read on a dutch forum said it didn't fix the LPM issue.

    Just installed 0002 Firmware on the M4 128Gb - and it works no lag or "stuttering"...and I did not make the registry changes.

    great!

    waiting on this too. if the issue is indeed fixed then i think the m4 is hands down the best consumer level ssd in the market right now.

    I updated the firmware yesterday and removed the registry entry for Port0. So far I have not had any problems with stuttering, etc.. on my M4.
