Some messages had mentioned perhaps hooking the disk to a windows machine and doing the updates, but the WD respone mentioned that they could not guaranty that the disk would still work with the windows updated firmware?? So, sounds like they really don't know what is going on with there own firmware upgrades? So, will definitely ignore the upgrades. Have some WD SSD drives that are the same, but have different firmware, but since they put no info on what is different in each firmware, better safe to leave what works alone. Thanks to all that have replied. Think WD would be more concerned with supporting disk for all OS's. Rather than only focus on windows only support.
