I am looking for HDD firmware seagate st1000DM003-1CH162

Hi, the performance of my hdd is extremely low, and according to several softwares the Smart is excellent, it does not have physical damage either.
So I think it could be a firmware error, but I couldn't find the correct firmware anywhere
I will appreciate any help or advice you can give me.
El numero de serie es Z1DCPES6.
Thanks! :)

No.
HDDs don't work like mobile phones where you can just update them.
DO NOT UPDATE YOUR DRIVE'S FIRMWARE. Chances are you will brick it for good.

If data is important ---> Consult a professional.
If data is not important ---> Show us terminal output.

How are you quantifying performance? What SMART tools did you use?
Your HDD is over 7 years old. Not worth the time investment.
