Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

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!
