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’ve been dealing with SSDs since the early days of Windows XP.

    A lot of drives have had a lot of problems.

    Like, the most recent I have dealt with was with Samsung 980 SSDs and the critical flaw in their firmware.
