Fixes & Enhancements
This is a general maintenance release for parallel SCSI drives.
All former firmware releases for all supported SCSI hard drives have been compiled onto one release. Review the text file for information about fixes supported on this release
The release information in this section is specific to new firmware that has never before been released to the web. New releases added to this utility are below:
New D405/D705 Firmware is available for Seagate 10K7 and 15K4 SCSI.
This release addresses multiple minor fixes for data error handling, detection, and correction, and incorporates changes included in D404/D704, and will update Seagate Cheetah 10K.7 drive model
to firmware version D705 and Cheetah 15K.4 drive models to firmware version D405, respectively.
With D403/D703, under certain rare circumstances a command timeout can possibly lead to drives being taken off-line, or cause the drive to post a SMART trip. Two changes are related to these timeout conditions:
1) idle operation and commands not being processed properly leading to possible timeout conditions
2) particular error recovery taking longer than timeouts allow.
This is an Urgent update.
