Basically i just benchmarked the drive on userbenchmark.com and i noticed my drive has a different firmware compared to everyone else , mine seems to be older
This is my score here Asus M5A78L-M/USB3 Performance Results - UserBenchmark
every one else scores have newer firmware (cant link as new users can only post 2 links
as you can see people seem to have newer firmwares than me, and yeah im running the drive in AHCI or so my bios says it is
anyway i went to this web page and every time i click on the download link, it says the page has been removed
https://support.wdc.com/product.aspx?ID=603&lang=en
anyone here know where i can get an upto date firmware
i have set my windows 10 to have the drive spinning 24/7
would u guys advise i do that or shall i let the drive turn off
the drive is getting old now so i need to keep it running untill i replace it with something else
i cant see any benchmarks for the WD GOLD drives on this website
