April 1st, 2014, 5:44

Hello,

I'm looking for a loader for WD5000AAJB-00UHA0. Seems hard to find! I don't see it among HDDGuru's files.

Cheers

FYI... you should post the fw version (i.e. 0058007R) if u want someone to look/upload for you.

Sure - it's just that I've just received 3 of them from the same lot, all with some sort of mechanical problems, and they seem so rare I was just wondering that ANY firmware anybody could share may match one of these three... tomorrow I'll post them.

Thanks in advance.

Well, that was F/W ver. 0011007B and none of these drives match this F/W.

From these drives, the most important one has F/W ver. 00210023.

Does anybody have such firmware?

F/W matching is important because you are uploading code to the drive that needs to "be able to talk" with the rest of the firmware, that is, there must be code integrity. Different bricks would not understand with each other...
