They did the same thing, switched flash util to v4.57.

Flashed my 3 500GB drives but are still dead

Did you have to format your pc after the firmware update?

[eagle328]

No I did not have to format at all.. I just powered down and rebooted and everything is fine. My computer is now slightly faster then before. Im running some test to check it all out , but so far great nothing failing. Hope it works for everyone else.

[Symeon]

mine just failed... update went well, powered down, even turn the powersuply switch off then restarted computer and it say Drive error at bios

Drive: ST3500320AS

P/N:9BX154-303

Someone has information about successful firmware flashing of ST3750330AS P/N: 9BX156-302 ?

[KLA1973]

i can confirm they uploaded a version that WILL flash the SD1A on my two ST3500320AS drives, but after it successfully completed my ICH9R controller will no longer detect the drives in RAID mode, only in standard IDE. Considering I have a RAID array, this is a problem as you might imagine. Anyone know how to revert back to SD15 until a compatible version is released?
