Important! Use this link: http://ftp.otenet.gr/linux/netapp/all.zip

This file contains firmware's from 2020 i.e., X670_S164315TATE.NA54.LOD 9/9/2020 over the directory listing file of X670_S164315TATE.NA53.LOD from 2019-06-20.
So I guess if one needs to get a complete mirror they need to download all of that. Luckily, one can do it with their favorite ftp client. :)

My 2 just arrived.
Both are practically identical. 520 formatted, NA02 firmware and slightly over 2 years of uptime.
I assume it needs firmware update NA04 (X670_S163315TATE.NA04.LOD).

Success! I was able to update the firmware from within TrueNAS using sg_write_buffer.
sg_write_buffer -b 4k -m dmc_offs_save -I X670_S163315TATE.NA04.LOD /dev/XXXX
Major props to redeamon for the firmware link and help.

Assuming you lose any data on these when updating it or not?
I need to check what firmware is running on a few of these customers have.
Not sure.
I don't believe the firmware update is destructive, but I had no data on them prior.
I can run a test to see what happens once the 512 byte sector format is finished.

***EDIT***
FYI, converting to 512 bytes from 520 took 4 hours.
I had not rebooted the system before formatting, so they were still technically on NA02.
I added new data and rebooted to ensure NA04 was running on the disks. No data loss.
I reflashed NA04. No data loss
Reboot again. No data loss.

The only thing I could not test was going from NA02 to NA04 with data on the drives. I don't want to risk downgrading.

If anyone has one of these drives already updated and 512e and doesn't want it any more let me know. :)
