Older version of Drive Firmware
Where can I find older PS Storage Drive firmware updates? The newest one (v8.0) says that it applies to drives that I do not have in my disk array and I know the disks in my array need updating.
I have 3x PS6000
No Events found!

Don,
But when clicking on the Legacy Versions, I only see Legacy PS Series Firmware. I am looking for older PS Series Hard Disk Drive Firmware.
Thanks
Mike

The document did not list my drives and I did try the update and it found no drives needing upgrade.
I will need to double-check with my co-worker, he said he did not do the drive firmware update when doing the controller updates, but he may have this past week without notifying me.

Checked with my co-worker and he did not do any hard drive firmware upgrade. Is there a link from the dell ftp page that may have the legacy versions of the hard drive firmware upgrade.

I know (ok I assume) they need updating because we have never upgraded the drive firmware on these arrays.
Model Drive: ST3600057SS
Firmware Version: EN00, EN01 and EN03.
I assume that we have the same drive with three different versions, that the EN00 and EN01 can be upgraded to at least EN03

Yikes... I hate to necro a thread but reading the line "None of the ENxx revisions have an issue..." struck me. Granted this is just anecdotal evidence but we have seen a much higher failure rate on the EN01 version than the newer EN03. These revisions carry different Dell part numbers as well. the EN00/EN01 has always been a 0VX8J, and the EN03 is a different label style, Dell P/N 023RX. Both are the same Seagate model # ST3600057SS. But I guess if they never patched the EN01, and just started sending the EN03/newer hardware revision that would sort of make sense. 600GB 15k drives across the board seem to just die a lot compared to other sizes and speeds. We're probably finding out why nobody made a 900GB 15k 3.5" drive.
