I obtained 3 AREX3840S5xnNTRI and 3 AREX3840S5xnFTRI which are Samsung PM1633's

I already opened a ticket at HPE but don't have a current 3PAR license.

The seemingly available (in 3PAR release notes mentioned) firmwares for my drives are 3P02, 3P03, 3P04 and one 3P06 but the latest is 3P07 for both models.

I'm thankful for any hints!

From what I was told the firmware is part of the 3.2.2.778 MU4 P129 update. If anyone can please help it would be greatly appreciated.

After a great deal of digging and wrong turns, I have determined that these drives are rebadged SanDisk Optimus Eco drives. As a result, you can use the SanDisk scli command-line tool supplied at this page on SanDisk's website to apply .dob firmware files to disks.

The latest version of drive firmware that I've found appropriate for these drives is version 3P0B, which can be found in the MEGA folder linked upthread.

You can apparently apply the firmware file optimus_eco_ex2_hp_3par_7op_3P0B_fw_plus_boot.dob (with sha256sum e0a3636ab6681de55fe9309faedadec0a863ef1d648aebd721133119eec1af4a ) to a DOPE1920S5xnNMRI model drive with commands like:

Code: 
chmod a+x scli
./scli show all -a
./scli update /dev/sda -p /path/to/optimus_eco_ex2_hp_3par_7op_3P0B_fw_plus_boot.dob
./scli show all -a
Hope this helps. HPE do not make finding out this information easy…!

Now, if only I could figure out how to pursuade some of these drives I've scavanged to start up not-read-only… (I suspect they're broken or bricked.)
