The LaCie Update Tool provides firmware support for LaCie drives with FireWire or USB interfaces. The software updates the latest firmware for optimal performance.
I recently downloaded and used the LaCie Update Tool, and it definitely deserves a good review. This tool provides the latest firmware support for LaCie drives that use FireWire 400 and 800 and/or USB 2.0 interface. It does an excellent job of updating your LaCie drive's firmware and ensuring that it performs at its optimal level.
It is essential to note that the LaCie Update Tool will not update Ethernet Disk or LaCie eSATA-only products. For these products, different updaters are available, while there's nothing to update for eSATA-only disks.
In addition, the LaCie Update Tool is compatible with OS X 10.3.9 thru 10.5.2, for both Intel and PPC based Macs. One fantastic benefit of using this tool is that it will confirm if your LaCie FireWire 800 or 400 drives have the latest firmware installed. Also, if they don't, you will receive a prompt to update the firmware.
However, it's crucial to pay attention to the instructions provided, as updating drive firmware is a critical task that should be done with caution. While LaCie has taken precautions to prevent data loss, make a backup of any important files or data before proceeding with the update. While updating the firmware shouldn't alter any data on the drive, data loss might occur if there are any other unforeseen issues with your system. Therefore, it is essential to proceed with caution and ensure that your operating system is running correctly.
Overall, the LaCie Update Tool is a reliable tool that guarantees that your LaCie drives operate optimally, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses LaCie drives.
