Nice to know I'm contributing to something. lol

Glad you were able to solve your issue. That's interesting you were able to downgrade. I'd been told previously on more than one occasion by support that version control prevents downgrading on Hitachi products. I'd never personally tried to downgrade firmware on consumer grade or enterprise...

Thanks for the feedback :)

Not sure if firmware A10 is more recent than FW 800, but if A10 is more recent that would explain the issue. You can't downgrade firmware.

EDIT: Kryptex made an interesting reply re: firmware version. You might want to call Hitachi first to find out if FW A10 was released after FW 800. EDIT2: it appears downgrades may be possible, at least on enterprise products. (TerroristTate reply) Ignore using Hitachi Hi-Test (windows...

He should have been talking to Adrian at this point. Adrian has up/down approval on releasing firmware tools and/or retrieving DOS tools which still may be marked as internal. If a DOS tool is marked internal he has the ability to contact manufacturing (software engineering, etc) to seek approval.

If it hasn't already I'd recommend asking for your ticket to be escalated to Adrian Cutler. Your ticket should have been closed by now with the issue resolved. At this point you might want to increase the frequency of your call backs to 1 a day until the issue is resolved by lower level support...

Kryptex or Odditory, Have you updated drives to FW 800? What was your experience with this firmware with drives in a RAID environment? I'm hoping someone already has played around with FW 800 so I won't have to be a guinea pig. :o I'm also hoping that WDC won't sabotage firmwares post merger.

Hitachi has a dos executable for each series/size of drive, the problem is getting support to release it. From Hitachi support's perspective it's easier for them to troubleshoot one tool rather than infinite variations of the dos tool. Even if the flashing process is the same, they still have...
