The 1.02 firmware doesn't bring any major performance increases and the most you'll be getting is 6% boost in random read speed.

Plextor M5 Pro with Firmware 1.02 Specifications I've compiled the differences between the new 1.02 firmware and older versions in the table below:
#SSD PLEXTOR SOFTWARE UPDATE#
The new M5 Pro firmware is already available at Plextor's site and the update should not be destructive, although we still strongly suggest that you have an up-to-date backup before flashing the drive. Fortunately a lot can be done via firmware updates. The SSD space is no stranger to aggressive launch schedules that force products out before they're fully baked. OCZ's Vertex 4 is among the most well known for its firmware updates because OCZ didn't provide just one, but two firmware updates that increased performance by a healthy margin. It's not unheard of for manufacturers to release faster firmware updates even after the product has already made it to market. It's still the only consumer SSD based on Marvell's 88SS9187 controller and it's one of the few that uses Toshiba's 19nm MLC NAND as most manufacturers are sticking with Toshiba's 24nm MLC for now. We originally reviewed the M5 Pro back in August and it did well in our tests but due to the new firmware, it's time to revisit the M5 Pro. The new 1.02 firmware is branded "Xtreme" and Plextor claims increases in both sequential write and random read performance. Earlier this week Plextor put out a press release about a new firmware for the M5 Pro SSD.
