I Picked up a few of these the other day on ebay as new pulls
The firmware on them has a few big issues
I tried the Lenovo updater it doesnt have the 2242 Drives (SDDPMQD) in the config so i manually added it
the drives are refusing the lenovo vendor locked firmware so the 2242 drives seem vendor unlocked
but there is no firmware around for 2242 SN740's (SDDPMQD)
anyway i finally found a copy of the latest firmware that was pushed via what looks like windows update to eligable machines
manually installing the inf does nothing on my machines
so i packaged up the firmware with the lenovo updater and a config i made which uses the sandisk updater
and updated mine just fine
This is only for 2242 SN740's feel free to try but it wont flash for you on other's anyway
as i have only added the follwing drives to the config and even if it did somehow the drive would reject it
