Q: QuestionI tried asking before but the samsung rep avoided answering me. What support (if any) do you provide for linux users to update the firmware? I dont use the spyware known as apple and microsoft. I use a SBC and my Pironman 5 max has a pcie line for this.

Asked 9 months ago by MeMania.

• A:Answer MeMania: For a Linux user with a 990 PRO SSD, Samsung provides the firmware as a bootable ISO file, which must be manually extracted and run from the command line. Download ISO file and make it as an bootable image by using USB flash drive a. If your system is not able to download or install Magician, you can download the firmware files from our Samsung SSD site. (http://samsung.com/samsungssd ) b. Go to “Firmware” in the menu bar, then you can find the latest firmware ISO File.

Q: Questiondoes it come with windows installer? my last ssd card didnt so i never got past the bios menu getting into my windows homescreen

Asked 1 year ago by doodookachoo.

• A:Answer doodookachoo: The 990 PRO SSD does not come with a Windows installer. However, it includes the Samsung Magician software, which is designed to help you manage and optimize your SSD. This software can assist with tasks like firmware updates, performance benchmarking, and data migration. If you need to install Windows on your 990 PRO, you'll need to create a bootable USB drive with the Windows installation files.

Q: QuestionWill this 990 pro with heatsink fit in a HP Zbook Fury 16 G11 laptop?

Asked 1 year ago by Luke.

• A:Answer I would just get a new laptop, there is no telling what will happen if you put one with out a heat sink. But if you go online and look it up and it doesnt say you can, I would avoid it if its my main laptop. I did it on my MSI katana but then again, I looked it up and it said yes. Also upgradable RAM.
