Provide a full model number for your Maxtor drive.
Old Maxtor drives don't have any FW updates.

EYES. Look at the WHITE writing on GREEN background , you just need to flip a drive upside down and using EYES.... you'll identify it.

In a few words : take a look at the PCB and silkscreen

You will find something like that ( CALYPSO III - POKER - SABRE - BLUE FISH and so on )
