Quick question regarding OS installation on a WD BLACK 850 NVMe SSD.
Inside WD Dashboard it’s telling me that my firmware needs updating.
My problem is that there is a risk of losing data with a firmware update of this nature.
So is it worth the risk lol…?
No that’s not my question…
My question is has any of you updated firmware on your SSD C-drive before?
If yes…
Any problems?
I have a 2.5 1TB Blue SSD…not NVMw but it took a FW update with no issues. Shouldn’t be a problem as the dashboard can’t be installed until you have an OS. However, I had important files on mine so I did do a backup to my NAS prior to updating the FW, just in case! Stuff does happen 
Yeah I updated it.
No issues…
Thanks for the input…
Does anyone know what the latest firmware for the SN850 is as of July 2022. I’m using the SN850 on my PS5 and to check the firmware it might be a challenge. The WDSN850 had Firmware 614900WD when it was installed on the PS5.
