Should I flash my USB controller's firmware? Wednesday, February 08, 2012 11:30 AM (permalink)
Hi everybody!
I have had my Classified SR2 one year now, and am mostly satisfied with it. The one thing I am not especially fond of, is USB 3. Sometimes I see my external USB 3 harddisk, sometimes it does not show up. And yes, I have installed the additional "optional" USB back plate power cable.
Question is: Should I flash the firmware for the NEC controller? EVGA has no link to such firmware, but I find several on the Internet.
Well, I have uopdated the USB 3 driver, hopefully that will help. But I wonder what benefits / risks are involved flashing the firmware.
