Hi All,
I'm new to the community here, first and foremost, hello all!.
Does anyone please have access to HGST firmware specifically for model HUSMM1640ASS201 and or HUSMM1640ASS204, which is a 400GB 12gbps SSD Drive.
I recently acquired a couple of these drives, and reformatted them to 512 sectors from 520, but noticed that the current EMC drive firmware (revision C342) is restricting the speed of the drive to 6gbps than 12gbps (i understand the array from which they were removed, operated 6gbps max, but supported 12gbps drives).
The sticker on the drive is showing that drive was shipped with firmware version b250
It appears EMC put their own special fw on the drive to effectively downgrade it.
The backplane and raid controller are both 12gbps in my setup which is a HP G9 Server & P440 Controller, and a non HGST 12gbps drive does detect correctly (just in case anyone asks) and are all running the latest possible firmware.
[/dev/sdh]
Device Type = SCSI Device
Device Path = /dev/sdh
UID = 5000CCA04EBB5158
Alias = @scsi7
Vendor Name = HITACHI
Model Name = HUSMM144 CLAR400
Firmware Version = SPECC342
Capacity = 400000000000
Sector Count = 781250000
Sector Size = 512
Metadata Size = 0
DIF Level = None
Protection Interval = 1
Multipath Support = true
Encryption Support = false
Hardware Version = PIKE BAY B.0
SAS Port 1 Width = Narrow (1x)
SAS Port 1 Physical Link Rate = 6 Gb/s
It also appears that HGST have stopped letting people down the HGST Device manager, which is the tool i need to be able to flash the drives properly, there's a version on this forum, but i don't believe it is the latest, do anyone please have access to the latest version?
Any help would be most appreciated.
