I am considering something like that, and noticed some enterprise / data center SSD makers do not publish firmware updates. Checking as I type this: Kioxia seems to only have consumer SSD firmware/tools/binaries. Micron has a list of firmware downloads for their drives. Samsung seems to have only consumer SSD firmware/tools, except for SM/PM863. Solidigm has a comprehensive status and download page for their drive firmware, including all(?) previously-Intel drives. Western Digital seems to only have consumer drive firmware available without a support ticket.

I am discounting whether email support could provide firmware, as I believe firmware updates should be as easy to access as possible (and have read forum posts describing the issues encountered when trying and usually failing to request via support channels). - If I missed something, please post it, would be good to know.
