Question How to update the firmware for an Intel Pro 5450S SATA SSD?

[mikeymikec]

I imagine I acquired this drive by scrapping a customer's old computer, so this could be a model purely for OEMs and so doesn't get the same visibility on the SSD manufacturer's site as say one of their retail products, but if anyone knows the best way to check for firmware updates on Intel SSDs in general, I'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Have you tried this: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/19543/intel-memory-and-storage-tool-gui.html

Thanks, I shall give it a try. I came across another one on the Intel site but the one I found mentioned specific SSDs it supported and mine wasn't mentioned.

Fingers crossed.

@bba-tcg I didn't see a download option on the page you linked; I had a further look around and apparently Intel handed off support of its SSD products to Solidigm, so after a bit more looking around, Solidigm's Storage Tool seemed like the right software, and after all that it reckoned I had the latest firmware for the drive already. However it also said "contact your vendor for support" or similar wording <shrugs>!

That makes sense - Intel did sell its SSD line to Solidigm.
