April 11, 20188 yr So a question, Who here has updated the firmware on their seagate drives and is it really worth it. I have to 3TB drives and both have a firmware update available but I have never really needed to do this in the past so was wondering what other peoples thoughts were.
April 12, 20188 yr If they are these models, I'd get rid of them ASAP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST3000DM001
April 12, 20188 yr 3TB Seagates just need taken out to the back field and shot. I wouldn't bother wasting your time with them, other than pulling your data off and getting rid.
April 14, 20188 yr Author Helpful somewhat. I may have to just run them for now, I need 3 new 4 or 5TB NAS units to replace all this and thats currently out of reach.
