Seagate ST2000DM001 Firmware Update
Looks like all my drives are on an older firmware and I have issues with 1 (different part no but same drive type) so was going to see if updating the FW fixes the problem.
Is there a guide anywhere on how to do it?

- I did it way-back-when and IIRC it was as simple as powering-down the RN, removing and labeling the drives, installing one-by-one to one of my computers and doing the fw update according to Seagate instructions, and re-installing the drives to the ReadyNAS.
- The procedure is not complicated if you can connect the drive to a windows PC. The hardest part is finding the correct firmware for your drives.
Apparently seagate often manufactures several variants for each drive (including some which have different number of platters). That is why they want the drive serial, and not just the model information.
