I just downloaded WD dashboard (this Link ) and noticed there is a new firmware for SN580 ,
my current version : 281010WD
New version : 281040WD
Different ? WD reduced allocated HMB = from 200mb to 64mb



There are lot of reports about BSOD in Win11 24H2. I'm not so sure does it reduce Write speed or not?

It wont have any noticeable effect compared to previous performance as the drive was never using that amount of HMB to begin with.
