The output looks good to me.
You should be able to run the long test, even through the USB interface. Good point about the firmware update, although a quick look on the web doesn't indicate an update is available. Many disk drives firmware can be updated from Linux with the hdparm tool (hdparm --fwdownload), although it may be easier to use the Windows or mac tools provided by the manufacturer, if you have those OSes available to you.
I had one batch of drives that needed a firmware update. The drives were all in USB cases, but to apply the firmware updates using the vendor's utility I had to remove each drive from the USB case and install in an old PC.
