How does anyone update their Rocket M.2 NVMe firmware when this utility is as much use as a chocolate fireguard?
TL;DR - Has Sabrent lost control/ownership of the update website at 108.167.183.234 ?
I have several SB-ROCKET-1TB & 2TB with different firmware versions and no matter which I try, Sabrent Rocket Control Panel (SRCP) all report as "Latest Firmware Installed"
When I try to check for an update to the SRCP application I get a "Connection Error"
I don't have any outbound firewall rules that would block normal http/https traffic, so I ran a packet capture of the traffic from the SRCP application and it is connecting to a remote server over http - it's just not getting a valid response.
When you run a reverse lookup of the DNS from the IP, the response is NOT www.sabrent.com.mx but mail.sllea.org
So, has Sabrent lost control of this web server?
Is the "Latest Firmware Installed" message just a default/failback if SRCP cannot actually complete a check online?
I don't understand why they cannot just make the firmware available for download like other companies and have a utility that uploads a local file. They are trying to be too cleaver and failing!
Has any one actually ever updated their SB-ROCKET firmware ?
Cheers,
M
