Hey everyone! I’m trying to track down the updated firmware for a plain Kioxia-labeled (not obviously HPE/Dell/EMC branded) 7.68TB SAS SSD: Model KRM51RUG7T68 PN SDFGE03GEA01
portal.nutanix.com
I found this and it looks like this model family is affected by the RM5 premature/false failure SMART issue on firmware prior to 0104, and that 0104 is the fix. I'm on firmware 0103...the problem is I can find references to the fix, but not an actual trustworthy standalone firmware package for this exact plain-label drive.
I’ve found HP appears to have their own branch like HPD6(B) for HPE-qualified equivalents and I’ve seen Dell/EMC/PM5 crossflash threads, but I do not want to shove random OEM firmware onto this thing unless there’s solid evidence it cross-applies
Basically I’m trying to avoid turning some healthy 7.68TB SAS SSDs into bricks just because Kioxia/OEM firmware official distribution can't be publicly found. If anyone has the file, a lead on where to get it, or firsthand experience with this exact model (or series), I’d really appreciate it.
