I also have a Lenovo (non-Thinkpad) with a PM981a drive and yeah, there's a pretty big difference between Samsung's Enterprise/OEM drives, and their consumer drives(EVO/PRO). Not big as in HW, they usually have the same NAND and controllers, but the FW on the controller is completely different, and on the Enterprise/OEM drives it cannot be updated via their Windows app (it doesn't even detect them).

The only way to get FW updates is through Lenovo's proprietary tool which only works on Thinkpads, even though my non-Thinkpad machine has the exact same SSD. What a shit show.

I guess I'll just have to stay on the FW it came out of the factory.
