Question
Does installing new firmware to an existing SSD erase the data stored on the drive?

Answer

There should not be any risk of data loss while installing the latest firmware on your Samsung SSD. The Samsung firmware update utility does not inherently erase the data stored on your drive, Samsung highly recommends backing up your data to another drive before updating firmware to mitigate any potential risk.
