just jumped on the SSD bandwagon, and have a question. I bought a 2.5' Vertex 2 60GB, which seems to be doing very well in all the benchmarks. I know OSX has no TRIMM support yet, and there is a lot of rumbling about using the right firmware in order to increase the SSD's lifespan. I read I'll probably have to use Windows in order to update the firmware in OCZ SSD's.
Can anyone tell me, how I can check the firmware version of the SSD using OSX ? Can it be done, or do you need Windows for this as well ?? I have no idea what firmware it runs, so there is no way to know if it needs updating.
Moreover, which firmware version do you guys use on the Vertex 2 in Mac OSX ? Are there any advantages you noticed ? Is there no other way than to use Windows for updating ??
Thanks in advance

The OCZ Toolbox is basically a Firmware Updater for OCZ SSDs. Updating the firmware from the toolbox is not supported when Windows is running off the drive you are trying to update.
What's New:
- Adds support for Intrepid 3.
- Adds support for Barefoot 3
- GUI enhancements
- Update improvements
- Known Issues: Limited compatibility with Intel RSTe driver
WARNING: For users with firmware version 1.13 and newer, this is not a destructive update. This is a Destructive Flash for older firmware, back up all data on SSD. Proceeding with this update will result in complete loss of data on the SSD. Toolbox will update the drives to firmware version 1.13 first before updating to the latest firmware version.
Toolbox will not update a primary system drive (e.g. drive letter 'C:'). You must run Windows from another drive and then update your SSD using Toolbox.
