Firmware Updater
Firmware Updater is a utility for LaCie external storage devices, particularly their Thunderbolt-connected docking stations and enclosures. It detects connected LaCie hardware and applies firmware updates to maintain compatibility, security, and stability. The app is typically bundled with LaCie device support software or downloaded from the vendor's support pages to keep peripheral firmware current.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionFirmware Updater is a utility component distributed by LaCie for updating connected storage device firmware. The search results indicate that LaCie (now part of Seagate) continues to ship macOS firmware updaters on their support site, with the latest versions marked as compatible with both Intel-based Macs and Apple Silicon Macs. The most reliable path is to visit LaCie's support and downloads page for your specific device model and download the current macOS Firmware Updater from there — they appear to ship native or Universal Binary builds. If you downloaded this utility some time ago, a fresh download from the vendor's site will ensure you have the latest native version. LaCie's site explicitly notes macOS updaters supporting both architectures, so the current build should run natively on Apple Silicon without Rosetta.
