How to update firmware on HGST HUS726020ALE610

January 16th, 2024, 6:51

Hi,

I have some HGST HUS726020ALE610 SATA drives on firmware version APGNT907 that have become problematic as they age. The drives have a propensity to hard reset their SATA connections during read/write operations despite not having any concerning SMART data. This appears to be a firmware bug as I see some OEM-specific versions of this drive (e.g. Dell HUS726020ALA610) have had firmware updates released to correct this behavior.

I see firmware version APGNTD05 is posted to HDDGuru for the HUS726020ALE610. How can I go about updating this model drive from APGNT907 to APGNTD05?

Thanks!
