Tandberg Data RDX QuikStor USB 2.0 Firmware 3057

Release Notes

Improvements:
- Allow RDX QuikStor USB 2.0 docks to support greater than 2.2 TB cartridges through a firmware update.
- Include the Cartridge Manufacturing Barcode field in the INQUIRY C0 response.
- Upgrade TI reference source firmware to the latest version and include a fix which handles cases where a host ACK is missed with persistent stall.
- HDD firmware download now supports download using microcode mode 3 instead of Mode 1
- Disable WRITE BUFFER commands used to configure drive manufacturing parameters in the release build.

Other Fixes:

- The addition of the Read Capacity 16 command required an update to non-Read/Write data transfer code to allow SCSI commands to set the "allocation length" field to zero without causing a SCSI error condition.
- Data-In commands such as Read cancelled by the host with a USB Mass Storage Class bulk reset were not handled properly and require further error handling (a bus reset) by the host in order to recover.

NOTE:

- FW version: 3057 Internal drive

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release.
