Can these drives be FW updated?

How is this deal?

 

[Jaket]

There are others on ebay for $199.
Maybe a lower price would be a good deal.

Not using the intel tools but if you have an HPE server and access to the HPE support system...

There's an HPE part number on the drive label in the listing's photo...

 

[awedio]

Unfortunately, I have no HPE parts!

If they weren't HP locked I would pick one up for my next build at $199

Also, can we get a special "Most Likes" forum badge for Samir?

How about this reference to the P4500's lack of "reliability"?

Wonder when we will see first P5x00 new at retail, obviously won't be used for a year or two.

I remember StorageReview has a review of P4500 which shows it's performance is quite behind P4510. This plus the alleged reliability issues make P4510 more attractive.

 

[awedio]

Not a lot of P4510's on ebay right now. (unless you want them from China)
They also seem to command at least $100+ "premium" vs 4500.
