If you were to conduct a random survey of desktop and laptop owners asking them, “When was the last time you updated the firmware on your SSD?” “, there is no doubt that the overwhelming majority would answer “never”, and a select few would not even know that this option existed. Modern NVMe drives are low maintenance by design, and an SSD firmware update is not something most users consider unless something is broken or an IT professional recommends it. The question I asked myself was whether it was worth it for the average user. So I adopted the approach…
