Firmware?

according to one of their reps on chat, sandisk does not provide firmware updates for their ssd products. their ssd series are sold ‘as is’ items and no current or future updates are required. i find this real strange as most manufacturers of ssds provide firmware updates and tools for their ssd line of products. as new fixes and patches come out, these tools provide a means to resolve any exisitng problems and/or enhance performance. i’m not ‘knockin’ on the performance/reliability of sandisk’s ssds but for future ssd purchases, i probably would go with a different competitor as they provide additional tools and support for their ssd products.
