WD RE4 Firmware update ??? [ Edited ]

[JDurand]

Hello all,

Another thread for talking about RE4.

Read this please:

http://community.wdc.com/t5/Other-Internal-Drives/RE4-WD5003ABYX-Drives-dropping-from-RAID-with-Adap...

They are talking about firmware version 01.01S02. All my RE4 (WD2503ABYX-01WERA0 and WD5003ABYX-01WERA0) have 01.01S01

"Your disk model is at firmware revision 01.01S02"

Is somebody know anything about firmware update of RE4 ?

On the wdc website there is nothing in RE4 download section.

Thanks !

Hi dude, WD doesn't have any public firmware update for most internal drives so you'll have to call them...

Hi all,

WD support is not able to help me.

Does somebody know something about firmware 01.01S02 ???

My RE4 have 01.01S01 and i would like to know what 01.01.S02 is changing.

I have a lot of RE4 and with Linux i have raw_read_error. This is certainly a firmware issue.

Windows seems to use a very little ahci driver, this is why the bug happen only on Linux.

Thanks
