The easiest way i can think to explain firmware is it is like say your windows operating system.But its hidden in the writer and basiclly it tells your writer what it can and can not do.You can see what version you have on when opening many burning softwares or by downloading at tool from the makers which will allow you to see what version is on.
Updating your firmware can be of good use from time to time.Many companys have firmware updates every so often so they can make certain writers more compatible to certain medias along with other improvements.You can also get hacked firware which may do many things like make your sl drive in to a dl driver depending on the drive.
I would recomend you get a official version of a firmware update for your drive and one that can be returned to the firmware you had on before updating.Flashing the firmware on your drive is normally an easy thing to do but a important thing.Please ensure you do it right or it could damage your drive.Here is a link to find out more about firmware which i would have a read around before you flash your drive.Once you have made up your mind to flash the drive you will be able to find firmware updates on the makers web site.
