Are you planning on providing an updater for Mac and Linux users too? I don’t have Boot Camp on my MacBook Pro and would like to update my SanDisk Ultra 240GB drive.

It is posted in a few other threads. They are working on making the CD ISO images available for download. Currently they are testing and said it should be available in the near future. That is all the info we have.

did anyone lose any data when updating the firmware?

I am planning on updating the firmware on my sandisk ultra 120GB and my most recent backup is from 2 days ago.

I mainly want to know so I can find out if I need to do another backup right now before updating, or just go through with the update.

While updating should not have any effect on data you should always do a backup before doing an update.
