[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 983065, member: 131855"] Firmware updates/patches can indeed kill a drive if they do not install properly for some reason. This is why when Apple releases such patches the read me files suggest making sure that the computer is not turned off or does not loose power before the process finishes. I'm not as well-versed in this as some of our members but remember with these types of updates you are writing low level instructions to the drive. It can be impossible to recover from this process if something goes wrong. [/QUOTE]
