Need Solid State Drive section

Many Solid State Drives require firmware updates that are only work on non-free platforms like Windows, for example Samsung 840 Pro, Crucial M4.
I think it would be a good idea if this site had a section for SSDs, too.
I think you should report this in our issue page. Thanks for noticing.
Samsung / OCZ

I found that Samsung provide a bootable iso image that will update the memory. I am not sure which OS it uses. (I have a feeling it is DOS.)
OCZ have files that run on GNU/Linux, which will upgrade the firmware.
This might solve the issue for this particular SSD but not for the others. I still think you should go to our issues page and make an issue. That way you can get the main developer's attention.
