Review on Gigabyte GP-GSTFS31120GNTD 120GB Internal SATA III SSD - Enhanced Performance and Reliability by Akihiko Kichiro ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

Blue screens with various error codes began to appear. At first, the software was suspect, but after long rollbacks and a subsequent clean installation of Windows, the problems remained. In particular, the SSD firmware was checked by the official Gigabyte SSD Toolbox utility - it was SBFM61.2, the utility did not offer to ate the firmware. I started checking all the hardware, RAM, cables and found a problem with the SSD, since in another computer with a working configuration it also gave out blue screens. I checked the SSD with Victoria - everything is in order. As a result, I randomly discovered the presence of a more recent firmware for this SSD - SBFM61.3, which I installed using the official Phison utility, the chip of which is installed on the disk (PS3111). Gigabyte support, meanwhile, offered to send the drive to the dealer from whom it was purchased for verification.

Pros
  • There are no complaints about the operation of the drive itself, but there is one caveat
Cons
  • Problems with firmware ates in the official SSD Toolbox utility, tech. Gigabyte support did not solve the problem.
