Update the firmware when you first get the drive, before you install anything on it. The SSD Toolkit that came with my Intel 335 240GB made it perfectly easy.
People in this forum with older SSDs that got newer ones can't feel any real-world difference between them. The difference between any SSD and a HDD is so vast that choosing between, say, a Samsung 840 or Intel 335 is really just splitting hairs.
