Saving HDD firmware in a file

Advertising

/
MessageAuthor

Might any of you fine folks know how I could read & save firmware from a 2.5" SATA HDD? It's a 320GB Hitachi, a Travelstar 5K320-320 5400rpm.

Just out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?

It matters to me, else I would not have asked. Since you disdain my simple and polite enquiry, I will return the favor.

I don't see why it should matter, but you answered your question already: out of curiosity.

The command set for the drive allows for downloading firmware to the drive only.

You can however query for the FW version and try to find it elsewhere (google...).
