Corsair Neutron in need of a firmware update for Linux

[markrich]

Can anyone please tell me (and point me in the right direction) how I may update the firmware for my Corsair Neutron SSD under Ubuntu?

Unfortunately, you can only update the SSD's firmware using the SSD toolbox which is only available for Windows.

That is kind of nuts. Although perhaps not as bad as the Intel X-25 G1 flashers -- those were an ISO image that attempted to create a RAM disk in DOS, copy files from the boot section of the DVD to the RAM disk, then run them from there. Problem was the DOS extended memory drivers used for the RAM disk flipped out from 32-bit overflow if you had more than 2GB, often registering negative total memory and refusing to load. Had to hack up my own custom USB key to flash it.

More than nuts. I tried to do as suggested in Windows but it doesn't work as the drive isn't formatted as M$ NTFS. It's in EXT4. So it seems even that doesn't help me.
