Now Available - Samsung SSD Firmware Update for Mac

[mhd333]

hi all -

first post here. last night i put a 840 pro in my new 2012 mac mini 2.3 GHz. the SSD shipped from newegg with firmware DXM03B0Q. i found that samsung has released a newer firmware DXM04B0Q, but i was under the impression that mac users were out of luck because a windows machine was required to perform firmware updates. then i found this...

(scroll down to find SSD firmware updates for mac users)

looks like samsung is supporting firmware updates on mac now. i'm not going to attempt it yet as i have a new install and am content to see how it performs with the shipped firmware.

hope some of you find this useful.

* note: moderators - please move this to memory and storage forum. didn't realize i was in power supplies when i posted this. thanks!

A big improvement over their earlier tool. Much closer to looks and functionality of Intel's Toolbox.

Sadly, still no Magician support for OS X despite the added ability to firmware update on OS X. I think there are plenty of users who want to use the toolbox on a Mac so they don't have to resort to TRIM hacks in OS X.

Doesn't the iso update work with any operating system? Since it's a boot disk...
