Hello
I have a Seagate Enterprise Capacity 3.5 HDD V5 drive
full model of this disc : ST4000NM0175
PN: 1YZ21V-046
This model disc appears to be only available on HP and DELL, but I need OEM firmware. Is there anyone who can help? or how can I convert HP DELL firmwares to .LOD extension?

DELL firmwares usually have a header at the beginning. To get raw firmware file (for upload using megacli, hdparm or sg_write_buffer), just remove the header so the resulting file size is multiple of 512 bytes.
Unfortunately, haven't found this model on DELL site.
HP firmwares are encrypted so they can be applied using HP tools only (which require HP controller). The encryption seems to be weak, however.
