I've had hot swap enabled for almost a week now and no freezes. I'd say this is a success finally. I'll report back if it happens again later.

Yeah, I am fixed also! I have probably 10 hours worth of Black Ops and 4 or 5 days of use with no issues.

Do these updates wipe the data on the drive? My C300 is arriving this Thursday and I'm wanting to do a clean install as soon as I get it. Would hate to do it all again when the new firmware arrives. Yeah I know I can do a backup/restore but maybe I'm just being super careful because its my first SSD.

yep i upgrade from firmware 002 to 006 to 007 and it ruined the boot disk, i had to format again :(, and for the moment no more freeze
 
Finally getting a chance to do this update.

Put the files on USB flash drive and reboot. It just sits at the "Finding Drives" screen.... Waited ~5 minutes and nothing.

Seems I read some people had to change from AHCI to IDE or something???? Can someone clarify? I really don't want to screw up my drive.

Yeah, and try it on a sata II port. Some have to do IDE.. I was able to do mine on SATA III port in AHCI mode. I was surprised it worked.

006 to 007 no problems with mine. I wonder if making two jumps is what caused your issue. Although I have seen some in other forums do it with no problems.
 
FWIW I tried SATA 2 port and it still didn't "find" the drive. I ended up putting it back in SATA3 and in IDE mode. It worked after that.
 
i had to put the drive in SATA1-2 and IDE mode to make the update work, and guess what, 5+ days without problems.
