I Tried this tool to update the firmware in a SA400 ssd drive, but it is not detected. Do you know if this tool can update the firmware in this ssd drive?. Are you working in a new version of this tools?.

Thanks.

Thank you, worked well on my Kingston SV300 ssd. At first the application segfaulted and then I ran it without SUDO where it popped up even though it didn't detect the drive, second time I ran it with SUDO and it opened up and detected the drive and updated the firmware.

that's based on a Marvell controller

these are the available firmware versions for your drive

When I run kfu I have two choices for my SSD (SV300S37A), 525 and 603. Is this just the version of the firmware? May I use either one for my SSD?

32-bit live usb solved my problem.

After a segfault, you should restart the application. It might happen, I couldn't figure out what's wrong with the binary. I will upload a video later about a successful upgrade. Try to search for the fw file in the /custom directory according your device's configuration number [2-3][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].

It lists my block devices and then segfaults, anyone else have this issue or know of a solution?
