HP Recommended
Product: Omen 17
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I just bought an Omen 17 from a friend who upgraded and so am updating all firmware before re-installing a fresh OS (so don't care if filesystem gets wiped out). I was finally able to update the system BIOS and now would like to update the 512GB Samsung 951 SSD firmware (rev BXV72HOQ from 2006)

 

HP's support site does not have a newer release though there is at least BXV77DOQ mentioned on the web and Samsung has fixed a large # of performance / reliability issues over the last 2 years. Samsung Magition does not work with OEM drives and I haven't found an alternative method to flash the consumer firmware

 

How can I get a later version (install complexity doesn't concern me)?
