Should I upgrade firmware PSF109C to PSF121C for my Intel NVMe 256GB SSD?

You are using Speccy to get the information?  Personally, you should dump that tool that has not been maintained for three years.

Instead, load the Intel memory and storage tool:

This will help you view and update your Intel SSD.

I do have that loaded. But there was a performance issue after updating to 121c.

In general should I flash it to 121c or no?
