Those drives are not SM883, but PM883. The firmware string beginning with "HXT" (PM883) instead of "HXM" (SM883) is how you can tell.
Those drives are also Amazon OEM drives, as designated by the "000AZ" at the end of the model, and take Amazon specific firmware, though you could try...
Intel's utility won't update the firmware of the drive, since it is considered an "OEM" drive, with it reporting firmware as "NQ00". But using PowerShell's "Get-StorageFirmwareInformation" cmdlet, it reports the Optane ssd as having "L0310160" and "L0310200" in firmware slots 3 and 4...
Might be slightly off topic, but uploaded a few more firmware files to @DarkServant's GMX link. Uploaded IBM branded Samsung PM9A5 firmware, a few other IBM Samsung drives plus generic firmware for Kioxia CM6.
New generic firmware has been released for the PM9A3 today.
The updated firmware versions are:
GDC5B02Q for PM9A3 U.2 960GB-7.68TB
GDC7602Q for PM9A3 M.2 960GB-3.84TB
GDD5402Q for PM9A3 U.2 15.36TB
There are no release notes available because Lenovo has decided not to provide release notes for...
Drive came in today, and seller sent a NetApp OEM 1.6TB P5800x Engineering Sample instead?!?
Drive came pre-formatted to 512 bit sectors, so it was directly usable out of the box.
A bit concerning that only 75% of spare blocks are available, but drive hasn't logged any media and integrity...
The link works and the binaries are valid.
I forgot to mention in my first post, but do you also have intermediate firmwares RE13, RE14, RF30 for the 2.5in version and RD24, RD27, RD28, RD30 for the AIC version that are required to update to RF35?
For that drive, just extract XCV1LX45.bin from the update package using 7zip, and use Solidigm Storage tool or sg_write_buffer to flash the binary to the drive.
Regarding the 905P 1.5TB NewEgg deal, the drive I bought did not come in retail packaging, and the serial number did not register on Intel's website.
I also bought 2 960gb 905P drives also from NewEgg 2 years ago, both of those have valid warranties on Intel's site and came in retail packaging.
Try running in Linux smartctl -a /dev/nvmeX (Where X is the drive's index.)
This should show the supported LBA format sizes, and should tell you if the drive is able to be reformatted to 4KiB or 512B sectors.
NOTE*
This specific Optane D4800X drive originally came from/was intended for use in...
