Description:
Many SSDs have needed firmware updates, to prevent them from failing. Some SSD manufacturers do not make these updates available via free software.
For example, the Samsung 840 Pro SSD has an update that runs only on windows, though there is also available from Samsung a bootable iso image that can flash the SSD. OCZ provide a file that runs on GNU/Linux.
Perhaps an additional section for SSDs would be helpful.
