We have these drives pulled from a EoL compellent array and they are running bugged firmware. We have tried to cross flash the drives to ODM spec but always results in failure, we have tried to flash the patched firmware from Dell but since we dont have the running compellent anymore it also results in failure.
KB from Dell - SC Storage Customer Notification: New disk firmware for specific Dell branded SSD Drives | Dell US
Does anyone know of a way to reflash these drives either with ODM firmware or the updated dell firmware to fix the bug - In rare circumstances, before cached IO is committed, disks may initiate a Drive Internal Reset as a result of a firmware exception. This condition may result in Hosts or the Storage Center reporting data integrity issues. Additionally, the potential for performance issues has been observed in a small number of systems utilizing these SSD models.
For us the work around is to pull the drive, zeroize it, and rei-nit back on the controller then in 90-180 days the drives fail out again. So we eventually pulled the drives and replaced them with Micron 5100's but I would like to fix this firmware issue and put them in an additional shelf.
