    Use the Toolkit to get the new 211 firmware.

    SanDisk Extreme SSD (60GB, 120GB, 240GB & 480GB): version R211 (release date: Oct 17, 2012)

    WARNING: If you already have the SSD Toolkit installed, then please update to the latest version of the SSD Toolkit application before performing the firmware update for the Extreme.

    I would update the firmware before you install Win7.

    The update program is best used as a bootable CD/DVD that is independent of the O/S used.
