Hi everyone,
I have four HGST HUS726060AL4210 SAS drives currently locked with firmware version A519, which disables standard SCSI commands like FORMAT UNIT, START STOP UNIT, and others. I've read that firmware A907 or ADD5 can restore normal functionality on these drives, as confirmed by several users in the community.
I'm searching for a copy of the firmware file HITACHI_7K6000_A907.bin, or the archive Drive_Firmware_1.13.tgz which is said to include it. If anyone can share it or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I just want to revive these drives for homelab and personal storage use.
Thanks in advance for your help!
