Hello people, this is my first post on here. As the title implies i need help updating a few Samsung PM893 ssds in 240GB and 480GB capacity. Firmware version for all of them is: JXTC103Q as far as i remember. If i try flashing am i going to brick them?
I followed the documentation and installed Ubuntu 18.04 and tried running the dc toolkit for Linux from Samsung's website. Not only did it not work, it didn't even detect it as an executable.
Planing to use them as backup disks or to use them in a server with aditional overprovisioning. I know write speed isn't so hot but i got them for as much as the 870 evo's in my country with a 5 year warranty. I think i got a good deal because most Samsung drives in my country come with a 2 year warranty in many places, especialy for sata drives. Nvme is 50/50% 2 and 5 year warranty. What are your thoughts on this?
Struggling to update them so i can put them into service. As far as my knowledge server / enterprise disks are a pain in nuts to update. Any recomendations for updating firmware on server disks? Thank you guys very much in advance.
