I thought some M5P owners might be interested in the new firmware. Apparently it's not up on the site yet, but hopefully they release it today.

The press release says it will be out in a week. I did ask Plextor if they could send it to us earlier though, will report back when I know more.

Thanks for the post & will you be doing steady state testing by chance? I'm hoping to see the firmware on their Japanese site sooner, but we'll have to wait and see.

I'm not seeing any difference in speed (ASU or AS-SSD) between firmware v1.01 and v1.02 on my 128GB M5P.

How full is your M5P?

I secure erased it before I tested it.

Looking at the specs here, I think there is not supposed to be any improvement on the 128GB model. You need 256GB or 512GB to see the improved high QD read IOPS (100K).
