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’ll never buy Western Digital. I’ve given them too many chances and owned many over the last 20 years and they consistently fail. Even the more expensive ones I’ve owned had something stop working in them.
I’m aware I’m jinxing myself when I suggest that I’ve had very different experience. We’re mostly WDReds though.
Honestly, I might have to retract my comment and mixing up Seagate with Western Digital, now that you say that.
