Revert back to original firmware??

MxPhenom 216 · Jan 2, 2011, 04:28 AM

I just tried updating the firmware on my OCZ vertex 2 drive but it tanked my my write speeds. Is there a way to revert back to the original firmware??

No. On the OCZ forum I read somewhere that when you flash the firmware you'll need to format the drive and reinstall as well.
