New Firmware for the ADATA SX900 SSD



If you're one of the lucky owners of this fast and reliable SSD, ADATA thought of you, and brought last week a new firmware for it, going by the number 5.0.7a, fixing following issues:

1) Fixed a power management condition where the device failed to respond to COMWAKE, which might have resulted in the SSD not responding without being reset by the host.
2) Fixed the normalized value calculation for SMART Attribute 9 (Power-On Hours)
3) Fixed a SATA error recovery sequence coming out of PS1.
4) Fixed an issue during SMART self-test extended that could cause an unexpected read error.
5) Fixed an issue that could have caused the read thresholds to be artificially low during read disturb operations.
6) Fixed an issue that could have caused the drive to be unresponsive based on a flash program failure.
7) Fixed a theoretically possible instance where an UECC on the flash media while processing unaligned write commands that cannot be corrected by the ECC engine and RAISETM causes invalid data to be returned.


Download, Upgrade Guide and Upgrade Tool available by ADATA.

PS: this firmware upgrade should also work on the following SSDs:
SX910/SP900/SP800/S511/S510/S396
