[eddi155f02dd]

Hi,

I was reading online there are some issues with the Phison E18 controller and there have been firmware updates for the controller, has MSI released any firmware updates for this nvme drive?

The firmware has been successfully updated to EIFM 31.7. Do I need to do a secure erase of the SSD after the firmware update?

The firmware has been successfully updated to EIFM 31.7. Do I need to do a secure erase of the SSD after the firmware update?

No. You’re fine as-is. The contents of your SSD have nothing to do with the controller firmware
