I read that Intel SSD Toolbox can't communicate with SSD in this way, so i can't manage my SSD. Is it a problem if i leave SSD without updating Firmware? I'll not use my SSD often anyway.</P><P>Thank You in advance!</P> Thu, 11 Apr 2019 00:16:30 GMT https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/intel-545s-firmware-update/m-p/12174#M3261 Mirev 2019-04-11T00:16:30Z https://community.solidigm.com/t5/solid-state-drives-nand/intel-545s-firmware-update/m-p/12175#M3262 Hello Mirev, Thank you for contacting Intel® Memory &amp; Storage Support.
