Post subject: | Full FW using PC3K SAS |
Hi Guys, I bought a PC-3000 SAS recently and new to it. Would you please guide me how to make a full FW copy of a HDD and upload it on another one? Assuming that both HDDs are exactly the same Seagate SAS. |

Let me explain, then that might help I have 2 identical new Seagate HDDs and as I said before, I'm new to PC-3000 SAS. I have started training and working with different options. I do not know what exactly I did with FW of a HDD which has got faced errors and malfunction. Then I've tried to get a full FW copy from the healthy HDD and upload it to the one which I explained above. but no success. Maybe because I am new to PC-3000, I am doing the process wrong. I really appreciate teaching me how to solve this case. Thanks |

Are you writing FW from healthy drive to the Problem/defected drive? and expecting it to work?[/quote] Yes, As I messed up with the FW, so, I am trying to replace it with the FW of the healthy one. Hope it works. |

@_root This is not how it works with hard drives. Many modules are unique and cant just be replaced. Its not like flashing a mobile phone, its more complicated. |

If you check the firmware modules, the PC3K utility will tell you if that module is unique or not, or if you can use that module from a donor. You should inspect that better. |
