Summary Description Resolution. While these Intel updates will specify if they are destructive, step number one with updating firmware is always to backup important data just to be safe. Having completed this step, it was time for us to move on to running the client. From the outset, you can select any installed SSD. There is an icon that pops up on the Firmware Update button if an update is available, as seen above.
Our Intel SSD was auto-selected. We clicked on firmware update. Now, at this point, we had already backed up our data onto another SSD. Actually, most firmware updates are non-destructive and your data should be fine in those update scenarios. However, manufacturers and we here at StorageReview still recommend that the first step before performing any firmware update should be to backup important data on your drive, in case of unexpected errors or faults.
When updates are destructive, there is a warning. So with our backup already completed, we started the update. It took only about 10 seconds to complete the update. Then, the system needed to be restarted in order to complete the process. In some firmware update clients, the restart is performed immediately and automatically, in others, they may be a period of 20 seconds or so to save a document or other type of file.
Intel provides the handy option to restart later manually. The process Intel provides users is highly intuitive and can be completed without any hassle. The firmware update process was extremely simple for our OCZ Vector.
