Config

You can easily config which SSD firmware you need to used by editing crucial-fw.cfg, if you want to add a new firmware, add a newline and split name and url by tab. If you don want the firmware, simply delete the line or using # to comment out.

Check your SSD firmware version

In linux, you can use hdparm to check your SSD firmware version

$ sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda

/dev/sda:

ATA device, with non-removable media
	Model Number:       Crucial_CT250MX200SSD1                  
	Serial Number:      15311040EEE8
	Firmware Revision:  MU03    
	Transport:          Serial, ATA8-AST, SATA 1.0a, SATA II Extensions, SATA Rev 2.5, SATA Rev 2.6, SATA Rev 3.0

In this example, firmware revision is MU03

Remove

After upgrading your firmware, you may want to remove the iso and grub file.

Simply remove directory /boot/crucial-fw and /etc/grub.d/45_crucial_fw, then regenerate GRUB2 by update-grub2 or grub-mkconfig, well done.
