Hello,
in a new system I installed two 1 TB Samsung EVO 870 SSD drives and want to check for firmware updates and - if available - install them, before installing the new system onto the drives.
As the system has no Operating System installed, yet, I downloaded the artifact “SATA SSD-870 EVO Firmware” from https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ site and created a bootable USB drive out of the ISO image (using the tool Rufus).
But now the problems start:
I booted successfully my Supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F with the USB drive, but the Samsung software does not find the SSD drives (connected to the onboard SATA controller). To avoid possible issues with the specific Supermicro board, I also installed one of the SSDs into a Lenovo Thinkpad, which also booted fine from the USB drive, but the Samsung Software again was not able to detect the SSD. As a last try, I booted an old machine with a consumer Gigabyte motherboard and the same there.
Does the Samsung update tool from the ISO not work?
Have I downloaded the wrong artifact?
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Thomas
