Hello,

I have several of these that I bought used, and I want to make sure I flash the firmware on them before deployment to avoid any potential data corruption/stability bugs.

They were all sold as HGST drives; I didn't realize until I got them that several of them are flashed with HP firmware and identify as HP MO1600JEFPC drives, so I either need to find that firmware as well, or figure out how to flash the HGST firmware onto them if possible.

I've spent a few hours googling and not been able to find anything, but then I remembered a thread here where someone tracked down a lot of Samsung firmware and thought I would check to see if anyone had done the same with these HGST drives. I'd also appreciate some advice on cross-flashing(?) the HP ones. Shouldn't the actual hardware be identical?

It took me 1 minute to google that you need HP hardware to update your drive firmware to the HPD3 revision . Firmware comes in bundle, you will not be able to extract it easily from the package, but you can try.
HP SSDs that are based on Seagate models can be cross-flashed to generic firmware with no hassle at all.

Thanks. I'm glad you had better luck with Google than I did.

Are Seagate and HGST interchangeable here? My understanding is that these are HGST drives, as they're identical to the HGST drives I also have in the system.

I'm still not sure where to find the newest HGST firmware...
