OT: Can Fedora upgrade firmware on WD SSD drives?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Contacted them, since web site seemed to only have 
option to upgrade firmware using a windows program?
Got a reply that that is currently the case, and only option 
would be to install windows on machine, or remove drive 
and put in windows machine to upgrade??

I've got 5 Linux machines at home that all have WD SSD 
drives, and a few of the earlier ones have older firmware 
that others of the same model..

Don't know if makes any real difference or what 
improvements firmware updates would do. Kind of 
disappointed that they don't have a Linux option.
Have used my Linux based G4L program to image old 
drives to the SSD drives with no problems, and had heard 
good things on the drives.

Wonder if someone knows of an option. Don't know if 
windows program to update firmware might work with 
wine or not??

Thanks.
