Yes, it works! I verified it several times now!Ĭlick above, or on this link to download a zipped file from a cached Samsung site called “621878F4EG” which contains the “F4EG.exe” update (Note: the Seagate sites do not work, and the old samsung links redirect you to the Seagate sites). And, searching the Seagate site is futile and yields no useful information about this issue.įortunately, there is a functional download site to the F4EG firmware update. Any attempt to access the Samsung domain will redirect to Seagate’s home page. However, since Seagate recently acquired Samsung, the FAQ relating to this problem ( ) is no longer available through Samsung. There seems to be a flaw in the drive’s firmware where disk writes can become corrupted when the write cache is enabled.īecause of this, a firmware update was released by Samsung, and this updated firmware seems to be required for many of the older drives. The major issue is the enhanced probability of data corruption (and data loss!). I have been getting lots of inquiries about how to upgrade the firmware of the Samsung F4 HD204UI 2Tb hard drive.
