hi guys
I have rather a large set of Seagate's SAS ST32000444SS, over a hundred
- experience I'm having from those in conjunction with their tech
support is abysmal.
I'm trying to update firmware of these drives and nothing works, including tech support.
... and I cannot help but wonder - is just me who is so unlucky and getting very, very poor support(taking naturally only of Linux) or in fact Seagate are rubbish!
Care to share your say?
thanks
What files can you download from seagate.com? If you can get a DOS executable, then you can write freeDOS to a USB stick then cp that executable to the disk. . . Reboot and run the .exe.
I can confirm seagate disk firmware can be updated from Linux, but don’t have any info in front of me as $dayjob tools hide details under the hood.
To echo what others have posted. . . What problem are you trying to solve? Does the current firmware have a bug you’re trying to prevent? Or are you wanting to update for the sake of updating?
