If someone has the link and can share it that would be great.

Hi dude! I don't think the firmware of that drive is open to the public.... But good luck.

Wd Logic :

If you want a cake go to the hardware store.

If you want a teapot go to the Baker.

So following the above go to http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle15592.aspx for the 05 firmware for the WD2002FYPS ))))))))))))

Joke aside it could be the case that the 05 firmware only works with the LSI controller but that will be up to you to find out if your RAID controller support can't/will not help you.

This firmware only works with  specific WD drives, 01U1B0 which I did not have. They both have been returned.

Thanks

Ok, there seems to be more (new ?)  versions of the drive hardware.

Thx for for the tip

No problem. That thread looks familiar and that is the drive version I had, 02W3B0. My ReadyNAS required firmware 04.05G05. The firmware on 02W3B0 cannot be upgraded to 04.05G05. The same mess I ran into.
