Hello Folks - jchuzi

When I attempted to update my LaCie Firewire Drive to Firmware Version 1.4.2, I got a message that the update was unnecessary because firmware was already at 1.3.8 (!)

That happened with the original updater that was withdrawn. This update is useless.

Hello Folks - bezbozny1

I get a message that my drives firmware is 1.0.2a(BD) and it does not need updating. I thought that the latest firmware version is 1.0.5 so shouldnt it need updating?

RE: Hello Folks - Mike - LaCie

LaCie has many different products, with different bridges.
The v1.4.2 of the Update Tool is the latest.

This has no correlation to the firmware version in a specific drive.

As I noted, the Update Tool will:
- interrogate the drive
- determine if the drive is already up-to-date
- if an update is available, will offer user opportunity to update, or confirm what current version is.

You cannot make any conclusions regarding version numbers.

Inside the application is a lookup table for all different LaCie USB and FireWire bridges. Yes, there are many. Not all variations require an update. We did this so that one updater can take care of almost all product variations.

So...if Update Tool says no update is available for your drive, then no update is available. Not all drives require an update.

Mike
