Data backup recommendations for updating firmware using the WD SSD Dashboard
The firmware update should not affect data on the app. However, there is a very slight chance a firmware update may result in data loss. Because of this, WD highly recommends backing up all data before initiating the firmware update.
Troubleshooting an SSD that is not detected by the WD Dashboard
The app Dashboard only supports WD brand SSD products. Please ensure the app and cables are connected properly. Click on the Rescan button of the Dashboard to scan the system for connected WD SSDs, or close and restart the WDSSD Dashboard program.
