You need to use Windows and Crucial Executive software which is crappy and some people are mentioning that in order to update the firmware this way you need to be able to write to it and actually have something being written to the disk while updating otherwise the process will fail - which is totally ridiculous. So I made a bootable portable Win11 usb stick which took 3 hours to do and the Crucial software does not launch in there (crashes). I then combed the interwebs and I found a user who contacted Crucial and they gave him the firmware file. Thread here and I also attached the FW on this post. You need to unzip the zip file and use the .bin file in there. I had a BTRFS cache with 2 affected MX500 drives in there. Stopped the array Removed one if the MX500. Started the array and waited for it to rebuild the BTRFS cache. Now one of the MX500 was listed as unassigned device. Copied the FW .bin file somewhere in Unraid run this command hdparm --fwdownload /mnt/user/athens/temp/mx500/1.bin --yes-i-know-what-i-am-doing --please-destroy-my-drive /dev/sdb where first argument is the path to the .bin file and the second one is the name of the drive I need to update. In this case /dev/sdb rebooted the server and I checked that the drive has been updated to M3CR046 (click on the drive's name and go to identity tab) stopped the array and added the updated drive back to the cache. started the array and wait for the cache rebuilt. stopped the array removed the other drive and then do steps 3 to 9 for the second drive. I hope this helps anyone who faces the same issue. Hopefully I will not face the same problems again. M3CR046.zip 1009.68 kB · 26 downloads Hi Snolly, Thank you very much, this saved me
August 3, 20241 yr I'm having this problem with an MX500. If I do the hdparm command after moving the MX500 to Unassigned disks, will it wipe the data on the disk?

The documentation does not mention anything and ChatGPT also did not give a definitive answer.

When I tried to update the firmware I get this error: bad/missing sense data Am I doing something wrong? Firmware 03x and 04x runs for different versions of MX500 which use different conponents. Though MX500 with 03x firmware have better hardware than 04x, unfortunately no further firmware updates for 03x.
