Well, you are certainly making me work to help you. The link to this is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...7200%20RPM%202.

It is not an SSD. It is a hybrid drive with a tiny 4GB solid-state "boost". There was one purchaser who commented about the firmware update crashing his Macbook computer. At least now I understand why you asked about firmware. This is a very recent technology and I don't know if there are widespread problems or not. Just remember, with this, you would not be buying a true SSD drive.
