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?

Update:
New FW updater is ready.
https://www.msi.com/Storage/SPATIUM...roduct=SPATIUM-M480-PRO-PCIe-4.0-NVMe-M.2-2TBThings to note before doing the update:
  • * Back up important data from the target M.2 SSD
  • * M.2 SSD must be installed to M.2 slot directly without any adapter
  • * Unzip the file and confirm both file is in the folder:
A. [MSI]M480 SSD update tool.exe
B. pcie_dll.dll

To proceed:
- Run M480 SSD update tool.exe with admin privilege
- Confirm target SSD is recognized by tool
- Run the update tool
- Restart PC

Result:
[Pass] tool will show “firmware download success”
[Fail] tool will show “firmware not support”
If SSD FW version is up to...

Hi Guys, slight change of plans

The M.2 Firmware will be released to the MSI website as a standalone update tool, with no need for MSI Centre

ETA is around the last week of this month


MSI requests you not to RMA at this time, but wait for the Release of the Firmware tool

Once released, you should be able to find it here

Appreciate your support! I'm only seeing an update for MSI Center dated 2025-07-31, but not a standalone tool, which would be preferable. Is MSI still cooking a separate release?

Also, I noticed the 4TB M480 Pro isn't listed under "Select Model." Will that be added, or is the tool intended to support all models regardless? Thank you again!

Hello, just bought my M480 Pro 2TB. I'm curious if the original M480 2TB has firmware updates.

It should only need a firmware update if it is version EIFM31.4

My read speeds have degraded on certain sectors, is there any way to force the EIFM80.1 firmware that found online?

its a bin file, EIFM80.1_17012024.BIN, is there any way to flash this without reinitializing the drive?
