Hello Customer, I own this device and have had no trouble using it and installing the hard disk drives(s). The first thing that you may want to be sure to know is which type of hard drive you are trying to install. This device will only accept SATA drives. Drives with a wide, 40 pin data connector and a white 4 pin power connector will not work This type of drive is called an IDE and it can be converted into a USB drive by installing it into a case with a wide flat, gray and black connector, data cable and a white, 4 pin power connector. The connectors that are used on a SATA drive are black for the power and a skinny, orange cable with a black connector for SATA. Please note, this device will only accept SATA drives. During the process of installing the SATA drives into this device, place the drive in the top or bottom slot, face up and slide it in to place. You will know when the drive is fully engaged into the connectors when the screw holes on the drive lineup with the holes on the frame that will hold the drives in place. Please note,the drives will only connect properly if inserted into the tray in the right way. Once the drive or drives are installed and screwed down into the frame, insert the frame back into the case and insert the screws to hold the case together. Next, connect the USB cable to the case and connect the power cord and plug the power cord into a working outlet. With the device connected, power up the device and allow a few minutes for the computer to recognize it. If running Windows 7, Vista, 8 or 8.1, and even XP, no special software is needed for this device in order for it to work. After powering on the device, give it a few minutes for the system to recognize it and once recognized, a window will appear showing the drive letter and the drive information. You are ready to drag and drop files and folders onto the new storage drive. Good luck and have fun.

Don't know about any firmware updates as mine has been working just fine for 4 months. It was not easy to understand the menu structure at first as there are 2 modes for the menu that offer different settings. It does excellent video quality although the sound is weak. This is a good buy for the money.

The only time I was able to upgrade the firmware was during the initial setup, since then, I think it checks on it's on and "alerts" you an upgrade is available. Mine updated once on its own after I said it was allowed. Hope this may help you.

I'm not very tech savy, I watched the videos on how to install it, you just need to install the firmware from Sony, labeled new install, once it's installed it will download the current update, via your Internet connection

I did get a firmware update on mine (using a Windows PC). I'm not an Apple person, so I'm not sure if updates work via Mac. I don't think it took long for the update. Do you have any friends with a PC that would let you borrow it for this purpose?

I'm also struggling. First how does one know if one needs the firmware update? How do you know what version is currently installed on the unit? When I run the update wizard from the Jabra web site, it just gets to the place where is says, "When the device has entered firmware upgrade mode Windows will install a device driver needed during the upgrade process. When the driver installation is completed the firmware download will begin automatically." But nothing ever happens. So I'm just as stuck. Sorry this is of no help.

Thanks for the info. Guess i have to wait for the newer firmware version. Since I purchase on Amazon, i assume i would have to work it through Samsung if i bricked it. P.S. Funny enough, when I first received the unit, i tried to do a firware upgrade and it said that none were available. It should have been, so maybe i was lucky it didn't work.

There's no information from Sabrent that identifies anything about a firmware update or an answer to your second question. I will get in touch with a Sabrent PR Representative to seek information.

Hi,We have no idea. We received these from Moultrie 3 weeks ago so we believe they would be the latest version. We were not aware of a firmware issue.Thanks,

I have not had the need for a firmware update, so don't know. This model has been around for several years, so it may not need an update.

Y. Fang, if you go on to Asus' site and download the firmware update from there, the file comes with a "how to update" pdf guide.

It looks like there is now way to update this firmware with a mac os. It looks like it will work in windows. Did you go to the site and down load the software.

There is a fix online for this problem. I downloaded it and installed it today. It's listed under the 8500 firmware solutions. Just don't make the mistake of deciding to upgrade to the next release. I did and now I can't get it to install -- Fatal error. So I have no HP Solutions, and I can't scan anything. I dread the thought of calling for help tomorrow and try to get a resolve...

This was my biggest beef. For such an expensive item and in todays world we should be able to get firmware updates. I am not aware of any way to update the firmware. I hope someone can prove me wrong. I do own it despite my concern.
