You’re assuming that their good reason is *your* good reason.
The fix in the firmware may address a situation that simply never happens in your application.
Let’s flip the question around for the group:
1. How many times have any of you upgraded hard drive firmware, as a percentage of drives you’ve personally bought or been responsible for managing?
2. Of that percentage, what percentage showed a discernible improvement in behavior after doing the upgrade?
I’ve personally never done it, having never seen the point in doing so.
I *have* upgraded motherboard firmware, but only after looking at the change logs to see if it fixes something I care about. I’ve looked at such change logs many more times than I’ve actually downloaded and attempted to use the new firmware, because most of the time, I decide that it will give me no relevant benefit.
