Hello,
I tried to update the firmware of an Intel SSD 540s to LSF031C. The Intel firmware update tool (issdfut_2.1.3.iso) was run from a bootable USB flash drive.
The firmware update tool gave this firmware update failure message:
"The Intel SATA Firmware Update did not complete. Please try the following:
1) Disable the drive password in the computer's BIOS
2) Enable SMART features in the computer's BIOS
3) Enable legacy IDE mode in the comuter's BIOS"
# 1: There is no drive password set in the BIOS.
# 2: I couldn't find any reference to SMART in the BIOS. I know however that SMART is enabled, since SMART data is shown in the Intel SSD Toolbox program (Win7).
# 3: The drive boot mode is set to Legacy in the BIOS, but it's unclear to me if this is "legacy IDE mode".
The 540s SSD is in an Intel NUC5PPYH.
Current SSD Firmware: LSBG200
SSD FUT: 2.1.3
NUC Visual BIOS: 2.2.20
Would you try to update the firmware at all, given this vulnerability report?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
