Application of NEWBIE - SSD firmware update help

Hello

New Member looking for advice on where to start with maintenance of Sandisk ssd firmware update.

I use an SSD on an acer AOD270 netbook. So, small screen, no CD drive etc. I couldn't not, fo are the life of me, get my Win7 starter HDD cloned on the SSD and start with reliability.

I made the big jump, installed the SSD, installed Linux Mint with all faults, made a few adjustments and controls for noatime and trim and I am very satisfied with what I have.

I would now like to update SSD firmware. I searched these forums and a couple other places, but I'm still a little lost. Y at - it a kind soul who can tell me the right place to start or a thread where this issue has already been resolved?

I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

The SanDisk SSD dashboard notifies you when FW updates are available, but it is for Windows only. Since you are on Linux, you can keep a watch on this forum. If a FW update is released it will be posted and stickied at the top of this map. They will post a link to the ISO standard for the FW. You can burn it on a CD or create a USB bootable out of it. Below, a message from FW update for the Extreme Pro SSD for an example. There is currently no FW for the Ultra II SSD update.

  • Is it essential to update SSD Firmware?

    Hi guys,.

    Is is absolutely essential to update SSD´s firmware to work right? I bought in 2012 of the EVO 840 Samsung 256 Gb, never used and now I would like to install in my MacBook Pro 2012. I'm afraid that I could upgrade the firmware in a bad way and end up doing a 'brick' of my SSD.

    Any ideas? Thank you!

    It depends, but generally you should.  I had a Crucial SSD that requires the firmware update to make it work properly.  New firmware is created for a reason by the manufacturer and should not be dismissed.  Contact technical support for Samsung for a definitive answer.

    Ciao.

  • Unable to launch SSD Q300 HDTS748EZSTA firmware update

    This player has a fresh install of Win7.

    Currently on SAFM11.1 and want to update to 11.2

    No other programs are running by the utility of the list firmware update "before you begin".

    The following message is received after the warning on the reboot of the pc:

    Impossible to prepare the system to update the native mode. Try again or contact technical support.

    What should I do to get past this error? I have to start this process all in safe mode?

    You must run the update of the firmware in safe mode. (Even if the system is loading press F8 and use mode safe mode with LAN). But there is a problem after update the firmaware.
    If you use TOSHIBA Storage Utilities v3.10 there is a possibility that your system crashes (you should first uninstall it).

    There is no possibility of connection to Windows after restart. I did an experiment and after formatting SSD, I installed a new copy of Windows 7 Pro SP1. The result was the same, it worked until the installation of the utilities of storage TOSHIBA v3.10.

    There is clearly a software problem, but I have not found another solution (do not to install the utilities of storage TOSHIBA v3.10)

  • E260 keeps restarting, firmware update does not help

    Hey everybody

    So I'm trying to fix my Sansa e260 friends and I'll get in trouble. When you turn it on, it just continuously restarts itself, I've included a video of what he does. http://Tinypic.com/r/2wq78jp/6

    Formatting the device using the Recovery Mode.  This erases all the materials for the device, but it's locked up in any case.

    For this procedure, first of all we have this word from our sponsor:

    In Recovery Mode, do not USE NOT THE COMMAND FORMAT WINDOWS ON THE PARTITION RESERVED.  Use the trick of ONLY sansa.fmt folder!

    Well, here are the steps (features of version 1 only):

    • Start with your OFF e200.
    • Slide the HOLD switch to the right (orange list).
    • Open a Windows Explorer on your PC.  Use my computer or [Windows key] + E.
    • Press and hold the REC button on your e200 while plugging in the USB cable.
    • The Sansa will specify "Welcome to Recovery Mode, type MSD."
    • On the PC, you will see a new device labeled 16 MB FORMAT.
    • Double-click this icon to open the reserved partition.  Yet once, DO NOT format using the available Windows command!
    • Right-click in this partition and select new folder.
    • Rename it sansa.fmt folder and you're ready!
    • With the help of remove it safely function (icon at the bottom of your screen in the taskbar), eject the Sansa.
    • Slide the HOLD switch to the left.
    • Try turning your restored e200 once she gets in shape automatically.

    Let us know how it goes!

    (Other relevant data)

    I had some problems with Photoshop since the last update. Whenever I close, I get a pop up that tells me that the program has failed and is looking for a solution. Sometimes, it closes with the same pop up, when I completed a heavy task memory. I use Nik and it's at the end of certain operations of Nik she does this sometimes (rarely). I need to re - register every month because otherwise, he thinks I work with a trial version.

    I'm trying to update the firmware on my HP Officejet Pro X451dw (CN463A), but the firmware update fails with the error "This Firmware Updater does not contain updates for your device." More precisely:

    1. With the help of EWS, I confirmed that my current firmware is very old (it lists the firmware version of BWP1CN1315FR, which means 1315FR, right?, dating almost the time I bought the printer about 3 years ago).
    2. I downloaded the firmware ("OJP_X451dw_R1640A_updated.dmg") was last updated, copied 'HP Firmware Updater' in /Applications and then he ran.
    3. It shows my printer in the Device Discovery list. I selected and clicked on continue.
    4. He thinks for a while, displaying "recovery information...". »

  • TimeCapsule downgrades WiFi 2.4 GHz after applying the firmware update v7.6.7

    After applying the firmware update v7.6.7 free WiFi to TimeCapsule is now 2.4 Ghz instead of 5 Ghz.

    It was the update of the firmware with certainty that has made this... no doubt about it:

    • My mouse bluetooth interference notice when my MacBook is connected to WiFi 2.4 Ghz;
    • Before the update, everything is OK
    • After updating, my mouse mouse start jittering
    • < alt-click > WiFi icon in the menu bar confirms: the connection is now 2.4 Ghz

    Restart to e TM Mo doesn't change anything.

    In the TC WiFI options tried to put another name to the network successfully, but only 5 GHz can not connect to it: timeout error every time.

    Tried the hard reset of TC and reconfigure the WiFi... the same result, but with a difference:

    • Setting an SSID separated for 5 GHz connection (in the WiFi options) has now created a network I can access.
    • However, this is not the best solution... I don't want 2 SSID.

    It is not the first time Apple breaks things with updates... and I see people move away from Apple to this kind of situations.

    I also had bad experiences with OS updates lately and postpone the as much as possible.

    The problem is that I can't go back... or can I?

    Any help is welcome.

    THX

    The problem is that I can't go back... or can I?
