Intel SSD Data Center Tool: Manage your connected Intel SSD devices

Intel SSD Data Center Tool is a command-line utility designed to help you manage Intel Solid-State Drives. The program lets you view specific information about your Intel SSD drives including the drivers they might require.

The program supports both SATA and PCIe drives and it is capable of detecting the SSD drives attached to the host system, and analyze the identity device information. It is also possible to change the LBA settings in order to resize the usable storage capacity.

On top of that, Intel SSD Data Center Tool allows you to view the drives' SMART information which can usually be enabled and accessed only from BIOS. A firmware payload is included for all supported drives so you can find out if you need to perform a firmware upgrade. It's also worth mentioning that the tool will only notify you of new firmware releases and does not have the ability to perform the updates itself.
