I have a second hand 800GB SSD Intel DC S3500 series (Model VK0800GDJYA).
The Intel DC S3500 series suffers from the 8MB bug if the firmware is not updated: the capacity of the SSD suddenly fells to 8MB, for instance after a power outage.
Some of these SSD are OEM branded and run OEM firmware. Mine is an HP one, with firmware HPG1. Unfortunately, the firmware of OEM SSDs from Intel cannot be updated with Intel's Firmware upgrade tool and one must use the updates provided by the OEM.
I could find this firmware upgrader on HP's website, but it requires Windows Server 2008 or 2012: https://support.hpe.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=MTX-54629fea2b664c73bb4698d1fb#tab2
I don't have Windows Server software (nor any HP Proliant server) but some HP desktops/notebooks if necessary.
Is there still some way to upgrade the firmware of such SSD without Windows Server?
