"Who would had imagined 10 years ago that one day hard drives would need a TSR app looking after them and updating them..."

The first HD firmware update I recall doing was back in early 2009, back when I was the "lucky" owner of an early Seagate 7200.11 that'd shipped with firmware capable of bricking the drive after a certain number of power cycles. So the idea that drives (whether spinning rust or solid state varieties) might benefit from a companion app keeping an eye out for firmware updates wouldn't have been far fetched 10 years ago...
