    I have a Liteon 128M6M and I would like to see if there are any driver updates and firmware updates for it.

    After googling I found some updates on Dell.com.
    My laptop is not a Dell and I bought the msata in addition to my laptop.

    Does anyone know where I can find proper updates to Drivers and Firmware for my Liteon 128M6M mSata?

    Well I decided to just run the updater and try it.
    It updated without an issue. Now my drives firmware is the latest version that you linked (DM7110F).
    Thank you!

    My drive benchmarks in the 3,900s using performance test (PassMark Software - Hard Drive Benchmark Charts), so I guess it's the best its going to get.

    Any idea on where to find drivers specific for the drive?
    (the windows default ones are installed atm)

    there are no drivers for the drive itself. If you mean the AHCI controller, then yes you can use the IRST Driver instead which is much better but make sure you only install the driver by manually updating them from device manager not installing the entire IRST application which is only needed if one is running RAID
