    Samsung 980 Pro firmware update

    I am putting a Samsung 980 Pro in a nvme enclosure. How can I check the firmware, or update the firmware on the Samsung 980 Pro ? When only using mac os x, or is there something I can check after /serial nr etc when I buy the drive to see that it has the newest firmware?

    Hi, I have had this build for some while, and running MacOS 10.14.6 - everthing works good! If I want to upgrade to 10.15 / 12 / 13 - some apps require 10.15 that I want to use - Is there a easy way for me to upragde to minimum 10.15 or higher?

    The iMac (21.5-inch Retina Early 2019) from Apple, when shipped with i8700k : Single-Core Score 5837 // Multi-Core Score 26572. And I dont think it is overclocked from apple. This got me thinking that I should hit higher numbers than single 5937 - multi 24546 . What do you guys think?

    Question about NVMe drives, this build uses : ADATA SX8200 240GB NVMe PCIe - if I buy the 512GB version would it be compatible with this build? And what about other manufacturers like the Crucial MP510 series? I see Samsung on the buyers guide, but not ADATA. Will I run in too problems buying...

    I've read that the Z390 boards have issue with NVRAM ? Is this so, and if does it affect this build?

    Yes, using the Designare Z390 motherboard. Thanks for answering so quick. This is the only thing I may have to change? "Sapphire Nitro+ might require enabling CSM Support in BIOS." ? Sounds good!
