Hello. Sorry for this question. But I got stuck on editing your SBR to have the Nytro PCI ID. It keeps sayin "WARNING: SAS address checksum error". Im really new to ubuntu and got stuck here

I hope you got it working last year ;) Warning can be ignored, seem to go with newer version of the utility. I successfully converted several F40 and F80 drives. There is a video explanation now on Youtube, google for Craft Computing F80 with ready to use files. Sadly, still can't reduce or disable over provision to get full capacity. Some people even suggest that actual size of the SSD is two times of rated capacity (ie F40 is actually 1 Tb flash)

I also have got the iocstatus = 0004 and when i try and install my backup it says iocstatus = 0003.

Any advice would be great. I was following the video on the f80 i derped and used his split and not my own split that i had made.

you have bad FW image.
you have to get the 13.00.08 version FW ( XP6302-8B1536 Firmware Update Package (16.00.01.00) this versionwill not work.)
you can use any 2008 FW to host boot the controller.

here is the link for the 13.00.08 FW

I've been selling said Sun Oracle F40/F80 in my location for more than a year now. I recently received a message from a fellow member from our local trading site about him finding a way to flash the card properly so that it would run in full pcie x8 2.0 speed.

In this site below, you'll find the procedure.
Converting a Sun/Oracle F40/F80 Flash Accelerator to a LSI/Seagate Warpdrive | Kenneth Kasilag

Credits go to Mr. Kasilag for the procedure and to marcan for lsirec.

It took me 48 hours to confirm his findings, as I am not linux savvy. A day of reading, and asking around I was able to understand the instructions.

I hope this helps anyone out there who wants to convert their Seagate WarpDrive.

Seagate seems to have removed the firmware from their site. After some looking I found it elsewhere.
Made this account just to post this link in case anyone else is having trouble finding it.

Ah thank you. Those links work. I can't access the US version of the website. Being from Canada it automatically redirected me to the Canadian Seagate website without support for these cards.

Hello,
Recently I purchased F40 and F80 and convert is successfully completed but VPD data was erased. So, I made VPD file for NWD-BLP4-400 and NWD-BLP4-800. If you want to program VPD, please use attched file and LSIUTIL option 49.
Please modify SP number before write VPD.
