H355 JBOD Target ID 0 Missing After PD Replacement

Certain Dell qualified Seagate Exos X24 SAS drives have undergone a hardware revision. As a result, replacement drives may ship with firmware revisions ending in A (SWSA, SYSA, or SUSA), while existing drives may be running firmware revisions ending in 9 (SWS9, SYS9, or SUS9). This behavior is expected and supported. The firmware difference reflects a hardware revision and does not indicate a problem with the drive, a firmware mismatch, or a requirement to update existing drives. Key Point: Customers do not need to update existing SxS9 drives to SxSA firmware. SxS9 firmware remains the correct firmware family for original hardware revisions.
