That's a vendor hard drive and it's locked. Bypassing the lock is far from being obvious.

You have an idea ?

I'v seen many Emc branded SAS drives, most all of them weren't locked ,they just have a different sector size.

Regards the Seagate ConstellationES1-Muskie could you use firmware 0008? If so I'll retrieve it.

Seagate ConstellationES1-Muskie firmware in WinRar file. Sometimes with Dell you need their first and earliest firmware update if it can be found. Also sometimes with Dell you have to start with the manufacturer's firmware on the hdd but I've only run into that once and that was some time ago.

Hello,

I have the same problème in some way, I have dozen of ST32000444SS with a Dell firmware KS6B that I am trying to flash with the original Seagate 008.

I have tried with SeaTools and sg_write_buffer under Linux, but both of them fails.

Any ideas ?
