That's a good question without a very good answer. There are a lot of
ODMs uploading *for* OEMs, so for instance Toshiba-branded NVMe drives
supplied to Dell get firmware updates but the Toshiba-branded NVMe
drives you can buy in the store probably don't. I think the
StarDrives[1] are the only one's I'm sure work regardless of where
they were purchased from, but I think there might be others on
https://fwupd.org/lvfs/devices/ e.g. the Intel ones. Just be careful
to check model numbers.

It's super frustrating it's not just "all drives" and so make sure you
feed that back to the vendor in the form of a email or support
request.
