- yjftsjthsd-h 3y agoWhy would that be enough? Being able to replace the firmware doesn't help if you don't have something to replace it with, and part of the problem is vendors not bothering to ship bugfixes.
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agoIt wouldn't help in the short term, but in the same way that 3rd party open source community have made OpenWRT for routers, over time, people other than the OEMs could develop 3rd party firmware for SSDs. It would obviously be better if the OEMs would open source, but with enough time, open source re-implementations could be made.
