Super Talent 128gb What does the switch do?

[pollardhimself]

I noticed there was a white switch on the ssd what does it do?

Its a Doom Switch. Tears a hole in the fabric of space-time, sucking the entire galaxy into its antimatter clutches. I guess it could be something else, like spread spectrum clocking switch, SATA mode switch, or something really boring like that.

Probably a manufacturer factory use only switch? Or for use when updating the firmware? Not knowing things like that really bothers me. I'd contact them just to find out. I remember you saying that you were really neurotic about that kind of thing too in another thread.

In the name of Mankind, please do not throw that switch!

I think this might be the explanation you need:

"For those who are interested ...
... I have checked the ST support because of the white switch ...

Antwort: Answer:
This white switch is used only when you need to upgrade the firmware for your SSD. Left(current position) is correct. Before you upgrade the firmware, you may need to switch it to right and switch it back to left after you finish the flash drive."
