![]() Then luckily I found on a French website () a binary firmware file (good site for drivers) and it would tell me that the disk was at the latest firmware M0MA020Ĭhecked on Dell/HP/Crucial nothing more for that case I was starting to be pissed off (Micron too mean to keep a 2 MB zip file !!) I installed Storage Executive and Storage Executive C.L.I. There is no way to extract any firmware form those ISO and from video seen on YT. It’s not clear from their website for which SSD (many form factor and model number) I found (aug 2020) only latest software Micron Storage Executive Command Line Interface & Micron Storage Executive and only the following ISO (make a CD or USB boot)ġ3M – 1100_revM0MU031_bootable_media_update.iso Ģ2M – 1100_revM0MU033_bootable_media_update.iso ![]() You have to register (login) to in order to be able to download anything. Thanks, I did not notice at 1st, as I have lots of ram and another SSD (OK) that keep the data, by testing my M.2 Micron 1100-M0MA020(MTFDDAV512TBN) it was indeed at 33MB/s read (through gnome-disk-utility and dd command write test on Linux) So in the worst case you might have to find a device with an M.2 slot, boot a Linux Live Image and install the Storage Executive inside the Live environment to perform the update. Sadly the tool only works with internal SATA drives and refuses to accept external USB enclosures. Also compatibility with external USB enclosures seemed to have improved. The result should look like this: A successful firmware update of a Micron 1100 Series SSD using the command line.Īfter the update, performance of all my Micron 1100 SSDs was restored to the expected levels. Apply the update using the following command: sudo /opt/MicronTechnology/MicronMSECLI/msecli -U -i /home/sturmflut/Downloads/1100_M0MA031_M0MA031\ 2T_Storage_Executive_fwbin_v2/ -n /dev/sd -i specifies the path to the unpacked ZIP file, -n the block device file.Unpack the Firmware Upgrade ZIP file to some location, e.g.Once everything is downloaded and installed, the actual update is easy: The Linux version installs an additional command line tool to /opt/MicronTechnology/MicronMSECLI/msecli which can also update the firmware. But the drive would still report the old version. The tool would hang for a very long time and then happily announce a successful firmware update. Just install, run, switch to the “Firmware Updates” tab, choose the ZIP file and press “Update Firmware Now”.Įxcept that it didn’t work, neither on Linux nor on Windows. The tool is written in Java and looks and behaves the same on both Windows and Linux. In theory one should be able to manually force the Micron Storage Executive GUI tool to apply the downloaded Firmware Upgrade ZIP file. How not to flash your Micron 1100 Series SSD Sample output of the smartctl command, showing firmware version M0MA020. If you have the smartctl tool installed, smartctl -a /dev/sd will return the firmware version among other information.With these Micron SSDs it doesn’t contain the full firmware version string, but just the second half (e.g. The pseudo file /sys/block/sd/device/rev contains the firmware revision.When you select the drive, the version will be displayed at the top of the window after the model number. If you’re using GNOME, you can use the GNOME Disks utility.There are several ways to check the current firmware version. Here is the link, look for “1100 SSD M0MA031 Firmware Release – Firmware Update Package (ZIP)”. Luckily the more recent firmware can be downloaded from the website and applied manually. ![]() But in late 2018 the GUI tool still didn’t know anything about it. The document had already been published on September 13, 2017. It mentioned a “required” update for Micron 1100 Series SSDs to new firmware versions M0MU031 and M0MA031. Rather unhappy with that, I kept looking around for a bit.Īfter a while I came across a PDF file on a special Micron website aimed specifically at Dell customers. Micron offers a nice GUI tool for both Windows and Linux called Storage Executive, which reported M0MA020 to be the latest available version in all three cases. The version installed on all three devices was M0MA020. Since no one just makes good products anymore and even SSDs need regular firmware updates now, I went looking for a more recent firmware. A third 512 GB SSD in my new work notebook had similar issues. Sometimes it would even stop responding for multiple seconds. Another of these 256 GB SSDs I had just put in an external USB 3.1 enclosure was also slow. My ASUS notebook started feeling more and more sluggish until I found out the read speed of its 256 GB SSD had dropped to 40 Megabytes per second. ![]() I’ve had quite a number of performance-related issues with Micron 1100 Series M.2 SATA SSDs in various constellations over the last 18 months.
