Do i need to install a firmware patch? I could not find a download for it and if so are the instructions that of the "how to install" page?

if you want it to UHD email me see below for details

I also have this drive. After reading through several posts about UHD compatibility, I could find only one other that shared the same info as mine with a firmware getting ever so close to the 12/22 point of no return.
