Crucial Storage Executive

When you switch the feature on, Storage Executive will allocate a portion of your DRAM for Momentum Cache. Whenever the OS needs to write data to the storage drive (the Crucial SSD), the data is actually written to that portion of DRAM instead (which is much quicker). Afterwards, the data is then 'flushed' to the SSD for permanent storage.

Id like to update the firmware of my Crucial MX100 SSD. Crucial recommends using their software, Storage Executive.

The problem is, it wont detect my SSD. It just shows it as:

Drive0 - The drive is currently busy performing an operation.
Model number is currently unavailable.

I thought this was the software problem, so I asked on the Crucial support forums. They replied that its probably problem with SATA drivers since other users had same problem on AMD chipset and I should try reverting back to older one or to Windows one.

I've had this issue since I first tried to use Crucial update, and that was on 14.12 (Omega) chipset drivers. The current version I have installed is from 29th of March 2015, version 1.2.1.402. I should mention that downloading latest available chipset driver (15.7.1) shows that the SATA driver is actual and doesn't need to be updated.

The SSD works perfectly in Windows, so there are no issues there, thankfully.

I'm running Phenom II X4 955, ASUS M5A97 Pro, Kingston 8GB DDR3, MSI R9 380 and Windows 7 x64.

Should I try reverting the drivers? If so, how should I do that? Last time I tried doing it, I accidentally also uninstalled my USB drivers and almost was forced to install Windows from scratch (lucky me that I had old PS/2 keyboard laying around )

Monitor and enhance the performance of your Crucial SSD by up to 10 times while prolonging its lifespan at the same time with this tool

Granted, solid state drives can speed up everything that requires disk access, include boot times, loading screens for games and application launches. However, without proper maintenance, you can notice how the power of your SSD starts to limp along in time.

Crucial Storage Executive is an application designed to help you monitor the health status and performance of your SSD while providing optimization tools to help you enjoy the highest speed possible.

Comes with a neatly organized and intuitive interface

Following a quick and uneventful setup, you are welcomed by an appealing and well-structured interface that is designed as a dashboard. On the left side, you can preview and access System Information, Drive Details, S.M.A.R.T., Firmware Updates and several cleaning functions. On the larger panel on the right, you can check out more information on the drive or the option you are accessing.

It is worth mentioning that the program provides you with a few recommendations on how to increase the overall performance of the SSD. For instance, you can boost up the speed by disabling the unnecessary functions such as filename creation or by disabling the AHCI mode.

Allows you to sanitize your drive and enhance momentum cache

The idea behind the application is to enable you to view a plethora of details about your SSD and hence, prevent errors, data corruption or permanent damage. Therefore, you can keep a constant eye up for its temperature and health, reset encryption password, verify model number and reduce redundant writes.

In the eventuality that you are unable to access the drive because it has been locked by Windows or other applications, then you can consider using the PSID revert function and regain the use of the volume. In addition, if you have been a victim of a malware infection, then you can employ the Sanitize Drive and make sure all traces of the malware are erased.
