In the past, several SSD manufacturers had bugs in their firmwares. So to be sure that I can fix such issues with a newly bought SSD, I need some secure (and somewhat easy) way of updating the firmware.
I don’t need to do the update on my own Linux installation. A bootable ISO would be fine, too.
Which manufacturer has some well supported way of updating SSD firmware, even if I don’t have any Windows installations left?
I’m using WD. No issues.
How do you update firmware on this SSD?
On their site it says you need Western Digital Dashboard, which requires windows. I’m not sure/haven’t bothered myself as of now on Linux.
I think some of my units are on the ‘lgtm’ update plan too. ;-)
