Which M.2 SSD for Linux?

In the past, several SSD manufacturers had bugs in their firmwares. So to be sure that I can fix such issues with a newly bought SSD, I need some secure (and somewhat easy) way of updating the firmware.

I don’t need to do the update on my own Linux installation. A bootable ISO would be fine, too.

Which manufacturer has some well supported way of updating SSD firmware, even if I don’t have any Windows installations left?

I’m aware I’m jinxing myself when I suggest that I’ve had very different experience. We’re mostly WDReds though.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
