Should I attempt to upgrade my WD Red's Firmware.

I bought a 6TB Red, back in November 2015, and have been happily had it chugging away in an Openmedivault server.

It was originally running in an x86 system, but I have just it moved it to an Odroid HC2.

Purely by luck, I came across a few webpages that suggest that the firmware on some Reds need to be updated to extend their longevity (something about Intellipark being too aggressive).

Is there any way I can tell whether I need to apply this fix?
