[dba-Tech] SSD Diagnoser

[Jon Tydda]

Hi Rocky

Most SSD manufacturers have their own software that will monitor the 
SSDs and upgrade the firmware if available. Best thing to do is find out 
the manufacturer and model, and go to their website and look for it. You 
just have to be lucky with the makes & models - the one I have in my 
laptop I can upgrade the firmware with the Windows tool. The one in my 
desktop (which I bought 6 months after) I have to create a boot CD and 
do it from that, and there's a warning that it might lose all my data. 
So I haven't bothered with that one :-)

If it's an SSD that came with the system, then HP (for example) will 
usually carry the firmware updates for it, just like they do with BIOS 
updates etc.
