Hello, I have 2 HGST HUS724040ALS640 drives and I want to flash them with the A280 firmware. I bought them from an online seller and I don't know where they came from. Currently both of them are reporting to be Hitachi DKW2E-H4R0SS.
I'm a noob in hdd firmware flashing, never did it before, so I did some research on the internet and after a few days I think I found two solutions. First is with Hugo and the second is with Niagara. I tried them both, with the correct firmware file I think (MPGNA280.bin), but both methods fail with errors.
As I said I'm a noob, I just want to use this two drives on a home lab server. Is there something I'm missing, has anyone managed to flash this drives?
I'm using Windows 7 x64 on a Dell R420 with a H310 mini controller.
I have attached a picture with one of the drive and some print screens from Hugo and Niagara.
Can anyone guide me or point me to a documentation somewhere?
Thank you!
