Western Digital mobile hard drive firmware upgrade tool

Speaking of hard drives, we have to mention the two giants Western Digital and Seagate. Since Western Digital overtook Seagate in market share in 2009, the two companies have been in a tug of war with each other winning and losing.
​

Compared with Seagate's advantages in enterprise-level hard drives, Western Digital certainly has its own expertise, that is, the refinement and extension of data storage solutions such as external storage and home entertainment. My Book, My Passport, WD TV and other series of products are also very popular. Good reviews from users.

Recently, Western Digital released version 3.2.0.8c of the firmware upgrade tool, which is suitable for Windows systems. The WD Firmware Updater utility updates the firmware on your My Book or My Passport hard drive and the program walks you through the firmware update.
