Firmware in the drive to play a very important role. Through the high version of the firmware update to the old version of firmware for a series of amendments added. And refresh the motherboard BIOS can only be amended BUG and hard to improve the actual performance motherboard is different, some drive through the firmware update can improve disc compatibility and enhanced read the disk performance, in addition to improve the optical drive and motherboard, ompatibility issues such as pioneer DVD-ROM as long as the latest 1.22 firmware update can solve the intel D815EEA and D850GB old motherboard can not recognize its problems.

The firmware update there is a certain risk. It is for the novice, how can we maximize avoid risk?
a) Recognize their own drive models, identify the corresponding firmware, in accordance with manufacturers guidance given, step by step to do. This is important, otherwise So now discovered that the wrong object, then so wronged.
b) Read about this firmware update description of the role, if you feel refreshed after the drive did not help, then I need to refresh, and after all this is a risky process, so why bother to own it?
c) and refresh the motherboard BIOS the same, we must ensure that the machine can not refresh during power outages, otherwise difficult to imagine the consequences.

As for the DVD burner, Combo, the pioneer company recently announced in time to refresh the firmware, it appears necessary, because they are not yet developed a sound need to gradually strengthen the performance. The enhanced ability to identify the disc drive read the disk on the ability to run, time to update the firmware is very meaningful. And refresh the motherboard BIOS the same drive firmware update has some risks, if refresh fails, you may cause internal drive's chip (EPROM) damage or disturbance of on-chip program, not only can not improve performance, but also not a small price to pay, so that firmware update is not suitable for everyone. All the best.
