CRUCIAL C300 firmware update
CRUCIAL issued a first firmware update, with an updater that poses problems with most of the users, sometimes ending with a “bricked” SSD!
Today they issued a new Firmware update, containing the same firmware, supporting TRIM and better power-management, but with an updated updater 
I am trying it on my MacBook Pro, having a 500GB 7200 rpm to put it in, if something bad happens… keep you informed!
PS: 20 minutes later, Mac OS X reinstalled, and all went flawlessly, I have to install the 10.6.3 combo update, and do a XBench! Ouch! 340 for disk subsystem after upgrading firmware, 317 before, it’s a 7% direct improvement, even with SATA 3Gb/s limiting the CRUCIAL C300 that need SATA 6Gb/s for full performance!
PS2: upgraded to 10.6.3, that is a real SSR downgrade, as score go back to 317! But the global XBench index of my MacBook Pro Core2 Duo 2×2.8Ghz is now 234, showing it’s excellent balance between CPU, GPU, Memory and SSD speed, remember that MacPro are under 170 in average!
