Haven't heard back from anyone yet, although I can't seem to find any other B1 firmware version in any of the usual locations.

Seems that the B1 Firmware is the new hardware design (my case was only moulded in January 2013 and my chips similarly date coded) so it probably incorporates the updates of the older versions. Tried the problems shown in older versions and they seem to have been remedied already anyway. If there is to be an update then my guess is that it will not be yet until someone finds a problem!

If it helps, I have the EXACT same problem as dave_c mentions.

I'm in the UK, I bought my 320 from Amazon ( in the UK ) and its B1 hardware.

The firmware is 1.00.

Extremely confusing to say the least because I was trying to update mine ( thinking it was out of date ) and was getting the same error message.  So I hope I do have the latest version at 1.0 ...

I hope this helps anyway.

The reason I was trying to update, was im having issues with Samba, I just cant see the nas, in windows unless I FTP to it or via the dlna...

Me too, got my DNS-320 from Amazon in the UK and had tried updating the firmware only to notice mine is also hardware revision B1 with firmware v1.00 dated 24th April 2012 which is a little worrying considering the amount of firmware and more recent updates for hardware revision A1...

The last stable firmware version for hardware (H/W for short) revision A1 or A2 is v2.03 (aka 2.03b03) dated Sep 23, 2011. Whilst the last known firmware release for H/W revision B1 is v1.01b02 dated Jul 2, 2013.

Firmware version between H/W revision is not compatible.

Well i found DNS-320_B1_FW.1.00b03 for hardware B1, it seemed to accept the file and inform me that firmware had been updated, but upon rebooting the NAS the firmware level remained the same as before, v1.00

v1.01b02 appears to be for the DNS-320L anyway?

v1.01b02 appears to be for the DNS-320L anyway?

Nope, the latest version for DNS-320L is v1.02b07 dated Mar 29, 2013.

Firmware version 1.01b02 is a pre-release beta for the DNS-320 revision B1 that is still undergoing internal QA testing and has not been released for public use.

As albert has pointed out, the A and B hardware series have two independent firmware upgrade paths that are not cross-compatible.
