It is possible to flash somehow with another firmware? thanks
Yes, it is. Same hardware as Samsung SN-S082H. There are two firmwares existing, one for the drive in "master" configuration, and one for the drive as "slave". Find out how your drive is configured in your own laptop at first. Flashing the wrong firmware renders your drive useless (it can be revived in a desktop computer with additional hardware).

Also, be aware that crossflashing will void your warranty, possibly even the warranty of your entire notebook. So I would recommend crossflashing only, if there is an issue with your drive, that is resolved with other OEM or retail firmware, and if the manufacturer isn't willing to help (put him on your "not buy in future" list), or if you don't mind about warranty anyway.
