Seagate Momentus XT owners about TD27

Sorry to hijack the thread. I just ordered a Momentus XT hybrid drive. Do I need to update the firmware once it arrives?

Check its firmware version and upgrade if needed to the latest version (SD28).

Install and look for the fw. If SD28 is installed you are all good.

I assume that info is in system profiler?

I'd say do it, no reason not to.

I can confirm this. Had exactly same issue with the Momentus XT 500GB it had fw td27 and wouldn't upgrade to SD28. Used that command and it did update the firmware.

Thank you!
