Re: OT: Can Fedora upgrade firmware on WD SSD drives?

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

 





Just for Information. I did get a response from WD that
was a little concerning.. Some messages had mentioned
perhaps hooking the disk to a windows machine and
doing the updates, but the WD respone mentioned that
they could not guaranty that the disk would still work
with the windows updated firmware??

So, sounds like they really don't know what is going on
with there own firmware upgrades?

So, will definitely ignore the upgrades. Have some WD
SSD drives that are the same, but have different
firmware, but since they put no info on what is different
in each firmware, better safe to leave what works alone.

Thanks to all that have replied. Think WD would be more
concerned with supporting disk for all OS's. Rather than
only focus on windows only support.

Have a great day.




No, that is legalize code for we do not guarantee this device will work with any software at all. 

And you may brick the device and we won't warranty that unless the device is still in warranty.

I have found even with paid support, the answer support gives you (that it will or won't work) is very often worthless.

Works at best means we tested it once and it worked for our simple easy short term test (I have worked with an enterprise vendor that certified hw/software combinations that would reliably crash more often more than 1x per week under load, so their certification is not worth a lot.
