Updating Seagate Hard Drive Firmware from Fedora 20

Recently I've grown tired of seeing constant warnings in my S.M.A.R.T. diagnostic information about outdated firmware on my pair of Seagate Barracuda drives (of the 7200.12 iteration, which according to the internet, should have lost my data and caught fire about five times over now). I've updated firmware on multiple SSDs, but never a traditional spinning rust drive. The process is a little klunky, but feel free to play along!
