> How does one find out if a particular 980 Pro needs firmware update or not? I'm wondering the same and I'm also wondering if upgrading the firmware can be done from Linux or not. I could search online but certainly people here do know?

Check your SSD's firmware, SSD-Z is a good one under Windows for example http://aezay.dk/aezay/ssdz/ http://aezay.dk/aezay/ssdz/ Hardinfo is a good one under Linux, most distro has it in their repo https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo https://github.com/lpereira/hardinfo Then go here https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/tools/ https://semiconductor.samsung.com/consumer-storage/support/t... -> Samsung SSD Firmware and check what's the newest firmware file
