HGST UltraStar 7K4000 2TB (HGST HUS724020ALE640) Firmware

July 19th, 2018, 16:48

Hi everybody,

I have purchased a HGST 7K4000 2TB model (HGST HUS724020ALE640, Revision: MJ6OA580). The drive is working perfectly fine, but it is generating a lot of vibration and seek noise. Can anybody tell me where I can find the latest firmware for this HDD, and how I can potentially change its AAM configuration, in order to try to reduce the noise. I know this is a server HDD in a desktop case, and is therefore not really made for a desktop, but I would really like to use it as it is built much stronger than regular drives.

HDD Model: HGST 7K4000 2TB (HGST HUS724020ALE640)
Revision: MJ6OA580
P/N: 0F14685
MLC: MPK580
Type: DK7SAF200
FW: 580
C P/N: H3U20006472SE

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards
