Hi,
My pc uses two Western Digital old HDs, AC14300R and AC24300L.
Both firmware may be very old, 220.N132 for the first, 411.R02 - for the
second.
Are there more recent firmwares for these dissks?
Where can I find them?
Is updating the firmware of HDs recommended.
My pc uses win2k pro.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Most consumer HDs do not support firmware updates by end users.

Nonsense.

I doubt if it can be done by you as an end user. What are you trying to
accomplish?

Thanks.
I tried to locate assistance on the Seagate site, and even drafted a
support request. The request was blocked by a comment that Seagate
doesn't supply support for SCSI disks.
If so, where else can I go?

Check with WD support but I guess that they will say no ;O)

Why did you go to Seagate????? Subject line says WD hardisks, just go
ask Western Digital.

You actually think that Seagate don't support SCSI drives, do you?
