Is there any cause for concern if I certify a drive first and then apply a firmware update to the drive?

I get that sometimes a firmware fix might be required before a drive can even pass the certification test, but assuming it passes, do I risk anything by flashing the drive and not re-certifying?

I dont think it makes any difference. Certification is a test of the platters, essentially, and that won't be affected by a firmware upgrade.
