From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Which M.2 SSD for Linux? (lemmy.world)

In the past, several SSD manufacturers had bugs in their firmwares. So to be sure that I can fix such issues with a newly bought SSD, I need some secure (and somewhat easy) way of updating the firmware.

I don't need to do the update on my own Linux installation. A bootable ISO would be fine, too.

Which manufacturer has some well supported way of updating SSD firmware, even if I don't have any Windows installations left?

choose SSD with SLC

Drives made with SLC flash memory are practically nonexistent. Affordable ones completely so. Times have changed.

Here's a list of models: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1B27_j9NDPU3cNlj2HKcrfpJKHkOf-Oi1DbuuQva2gT4

Yes, there are many SSD SLC with afforable price right now too, for example ADATA SU650 I used. The benefit SLC over other types in the video I provide before are after we secure erase our SSD. SLC provide less latency than others, and trim from SSD controller are not enough to clean the data or reduce the latency after using it for long time (based by research in the paper). And from point of security as the main topic in paper, show a good point that SLC give more clean data format than others for privacy minded people (focused on that right now). I'm still searching the latest paper about this topic.. still stuck in this because others not explain well or have proof with research / comparison as this.

No, that is a TLC drive. It only uses SLC for the cache.
