Hard drive firmware update - Active shock protection

Hi, I discovered that Lenovo provides upgrades firmware for 2.5-inch HDDs to be compatible with the system of Active protection against shock, parks the head on the violent movement.

I have a Lenovo T60 and want to put in a 120 GB Hitachi.
Here is the output of the tool (Linux) hdparm for my Hitachi drive:
Model is Hitachi HTS541612J9SA00, FwRev is SBDOC70P, SerialNo = SB2D03E4GRLXA

This page here has a list of supported hard drives for an update of the firmware.
http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-62282

They don't list my exact harddrive, but they list the HTS5416xxJ9AT00. So my hard drive has a "character near the end of the model name.

My question is, is supported in my hard drive? I'll try to update the firmware using the Lenovo software? Thank you

If I understand correctly your drive and any other SATA drive that fits in the Bay should work with the EPA. I think I just read a more technical discussion on this more to the section of the thinkpads.com, notebookreview lenovo or another thread here (they all blur after a while) but I'm too lazy to go hunt it upward at the moment. If I turn on again, I'll come back and post a link

From notebookreview (courtesy of SSNSEAWOLF):

Indeed, it will work.

Protection against shocks using a built-in accelerometer that detects when your laptop is declining and then sends a command to stop your hard drive (Park its heads), just as if you were having turned off the computer and stop the hard drive.

Thus, there is nothing special you need from your hard drive, that all logical owner and material are inside the computer laptop itself. Any hard drive will work fine.

  • Seagate Hard Drive Firmware Update for the drive model: ST1000LM024

    I have (HP Pavilion dv6-7180se Entertainment Notebook PC). All the drivers for this model installed correctly except the drivers Frimware (Seagate hard drive Firmware Update) and (PLDS Optical Drive Firmware Update). the first one says "this hard drive model is not supported. Model = ST1000LM024"but my hard drive came from the factory, so what is the practice solution to install this driver? images .view of problems:

    This is to seagate:

    and for PLDS:

    Need help. Thank you.

    What mean of these messages, is that these "Firmware updates" do not apply to material in your specific computer. The two "Seagate Firmware Updates" are respectively for the hard drives of 250 GB / 320 GB and 500/750 GB hard drives. Your computer comes with a 1 TB hard drive, which is not subject to updates of the firmware. The "PLDS Optical Drive Update" is for another drive to CD/DVD only installed in your computer and also does not apply. There is no further action to take... Do not attempt to install these updates of firmware, because they do not apply to the hardware in your computer.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

  • sp40966 drive firmware update problem

    While they inspected the m9400t support page today, I found the following link:

    IMPORTANT - prevent any hard drive crash

    I checked the link and found that I needed this update the hard drive firmware as my main drive is a Seagate 750 GB SATA drive. I've printed the information, then progressed to follow the steps. All is well until the phase of "reboot" and that's when things went south!

    First - when the computer reboots, I had the update screen and saw the message on the interface of disc must be set to IDA and because the mine was set to RAID I reset to IDA and restarted.

    Next - screen update again and began the process of update. Received a message that file binary download was complete. Following message "trying to read HP26CE3D.bin ', and this is where things went"South ".

    After seeing this message for ~ 30 minutes I had the feeling that nothing was happening, so against the warning messages on the screen to update on "do not restart", I did a power reset off.

    On the start of Vista could not start and I had the repair screen 'System '.

    Long story short, after several attempts to reboot the system using my diag CD material and my system restored I got the answer of the CD.

    On the next attempt of cold start, I used F10 and reset my disk for the original RAID interface and the system booted!

    So, I wonder just what is happening. What has the RAID vs IDA to interface to update the disk firmware?

    Anyone else out there there is a problem?

    ATTENTION: I cannot always be right, but I always give advice.
    Kudo accepted with gratitude if I have been of help to you.

    GOOD NEWS!

    Yesterday, I downloaded the update sp40966 on the site of HP support and installed without problems or errors! I now drive HP26 firmware version on my Seagate 750 GB drive. I don't know that what has changed, but the installation goes smoothly. Here are a few observations on this installation vs the other installation I tried that failed.

    1. this time the installation I have no advice or warnings on affecting the drive interface in bios RAID IDE as with the previous installation.

    2. once the bootable CD was created when I opened it I could see the files and folders in contrast to the previous three CD

    3. I'm a happy camper now. I'll mark my issue as resolved.

    Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my problem and now: "this case is closed the King!" (the last is for we all had to grow up with radio instead of television. Live long and prosper!

  • Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!

    Ugggh.  I have a 27-inch iMac late 2011 and the hard drive was updated with a new SSD.  The integrated cd/dvd had to be taken out.  I then bought a thought of superdrive, it should work.  It's frozen on my iMac!  Gee, who could have possibly guessed that would happen?  I tried all kinds of silly workarounds, I found on the internet, but still it will not register the stack of DVDs and other discs I have.

    If you're like me and upgraded your iMac that came with a cd/dvd drive internal... so he has to come out to give way to the fusion or the SSD drive, do NOT buy the apple superdrive.  It will work with your computer!

    Think I'll get a laptop samsung...

    Ironic, isn't it? Own Apple SuperDrive will not work with Apple computers. Shame you don't check here first that we would have warned you. Return Apple overpriced and buy a nice third-party player for a third of the price. I love the LG units. You can consider a loading plate because they are more reliable, and you can use these pesky disc when you get one.

  • PS5000 update the hard drive Firmware

    Hello

    I have a group of three members (P5000, PS5000e & PS4100) equallogic I used storage Dell Update Manager to update all three to V6.0.11, but when I tried to update V7.0.10, he asked for the firmware of the hard drive for the PS5000. So I downloaded the Firmware of the drive hard v8.0 and tried to apply, it didn't and after reading more far away the ps5000 has a controller of type 5, and it will not apply.

    Is it possible to get it to apply, I tried FTP and using the CLI interface but no joy, dell equallogic support will apply the firmware if the PS5000 is no longer under warranty? or what I can do to enforce?

    If not can I bypass this firmware of the hard drive and just update the Group of v7.1.8 using ftp and CLI? because the use of the Dell Storage Manager up-to-date it auto selects the box install the disk firmware.

    Kind regards

    Dan

    Hello Dan,.

    There is no way to update the firmware of the drive on Type 5 controllers.  No matter how you try to do the upgrade process.

    Yes, you can skip the update of the firmware of drive by directly FTP'ng firmware EQL to each Member, and then run the update to the CLI process.

    If you have the available series cables I suggest you do updates through the series, or at least check connections series to work on all members.

    Kind regards

  • Reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium after the passage of hard drives. Lost activation key between yesterday and today.

    Everything is in the title, well enough. I bought a student upgrade copy of Windows 7 in late 2009 / early 2010 and installed it via Bootcamp on a MacBook Pro. I recently updated my hard drive, and to my dismay, did not have my backup of Windows and so I reinstalled the operating system. My only problem is that I lost the key. Can't find anywhere I tried to download a product keys Locator, but when I entered the key, it gave me it tells me that there is a default keyboard and can therefore be used for activation.

    I'm kind of at a loss for what to do here. The ID of the product was rejected when I looked, but I know for a fact that this copy of Windows is legitimate, since I checked before BONE. Any help would be appreciated...

    Hello
    last week I updated my OS to El Capitan 10.11.4.
    After that, I have problems, make a backup on my external drive (Wester Digital MY Passport Ultra).
    After reset total of my iMac, the backup runs once, but the hourly automated backup stops.
    A manual start is not successful.

    The external hard drive is visible in the finder, but clicking the map Backups.backupdb, nothing happens. After a reboot all backups are still visible.
    It seems that the external hard drive is dismantled after the initial backup.

    Time Machine is running, HD connected properly.
    Latest version of the WD software is installed.

    Does anyone know the solution for this problem.

  • Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

    My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
    Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
    Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

    Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
    But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
    You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

    I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
    Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

    On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
    The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
    Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
    Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
    and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

    REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

    REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

    It may be useful
