I bought some cheap Seagate Exos 15E900 drives (for no real reason other than nostalgia of hard drives) and discovered the "Dell Enterprise Plus" label means it has a different firmware than a standard Dell branded drive. It seems Dell does not post the firmware upgrades to their site either. This PDF was the only place I could find an update listed. Does anyone know of a way to obtain the update file or if it is possible to convert these drives to either regular Dell firmware or generic Seagate firmware?

The „Enterprise Plus“ label is used vor several different Dell EMC solutions. Could be Powervault, could be Equilogic all with different firmware. So what’s the Dell P/N on your drives?

The part numbers are 0TC05P and 0G6C6C. Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide on these drives.

Those drives are intended to be used in EMC Compellent (now Dell Storage Center) appliances.
No firmware available for public, only with support contract via „Dell Digital Locker“.

Just wanted to update this thread to say @BuZa converted all these "Dell Enterprise Plus" drives to run the latest generic Seagate firmware. I highly recommend his service.
