How to Update the Firmware of a Crucial Consumer SSD on Linux via the Terminal

How to Update the Firmware of a Crucial Consumer SSD on Ubuntu 22.04 via the Terminal

This has been tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with 3x Crucial MX500 1TB SSDs purchased in 2023

  1. Install the required packages
    sudo apt-get install -y smartmontools unzip curl
    
  2. Check your current firmware version and note it-you will want to be sure that you are actually updating the firmware version (replace sdX with your actual device's identifier-leaving off any partition numbers as you're checking the block device and not the data on it)
