Overprovisioning your drive can contribute to maintaining better performance and adding longevity to your SSD. For users that desire to manually overprovision their drives, we have provided a function for this. Corsair is now producing SSDs that do not have factory overprovisioning. Some systems will require the SSD to be disconnected briefly before the new firmware version will appear in the Drive Information window.Īdditional functions can be activated with the column of buttons down the left side of the toolbox.

Note: Corsair recommends that users update their OS drive as attached storage when possible. Once your drive is updated, close the toolbox window using the close button. The updates are intended to be non-destructive but we strongly encourage users to back up any critical data before performance a firmware update. The next screen will prompt you to backup your data before updating your firmware. Earlier and EOL Corsair drives with firmware updates can be updated manually using the tools supplied on our website. Firmware updating via this toolbox is enabled for The Corsair Series Force 3, Force Series GT, Force Series GS, Neutron Series, and Neutron Series GTX SSDs. Note: Firmware updates can only be executed when the SSD controller is in AHCI mode. If there is an update available, the dialogue will prompt you to update the firmware or cancel the operation. USB connected SSD drives must use SAT-capable cables/enclosures that support ATA/SAT-pass-through.Īfter you select firmware update the tool will scan your drive and check for firmware updates.
#WIN7 CHECK SSD HEALTH DRIVERS#
AMD/nVidia chipset systems may require different storage drivers for proper operation.
When your SSD controller is in AHCI mode, you can update your SSD firmware from this page using the button circled in red below. Individual drive information is shown in the center of the main window. The circular arrows will refresh the tool.
#WIN7 CHECK SSD HEALTH LICENSE#
The "i" symbol will show you the toolbox version number and license agreement. RAID volumes will not be seen as single drives as the tool cannot address them individually. Other drives will appear in the drive information window but core functionality is restricted to authorized Corsair SSDs. Your main screen at launch shows the drive information of single drives attached to the system. Clicking the question mark will open the help file in a browser. This help file gives detailed information on each function of the SSD toolbox.
