INTEL 545s Firmware Update?

[Mirev]

Hello!

I'm using 256GB 2,5" 545s SSD as external drive with ORICO 2139U3-PRO-CR (USB 3.0 -> SATA) enclosure. 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.

Thank You in advance!
