Lets add to the fact that the latest -mk firmware now contains a firmware for only 6 months of a drive being out, and not the last 4 years of the same drive in an earlier revision? Sounds odd to the common sense test to me.Īfter reading lots of very informative, but general posts on the subject, it was nice to find a match for my use case and eliminate any concerns. I most certainly didn't get that impression with my reading, although it wasn't what I was looking for so I could have missed it. I don't know anyone who would not assume it would fit both service codes without doing a bunch of reading as well. It needs to be updated in the latest -mk package because the label on the folder is literally "WH16NS40-NS50" and it only contains one bin file with the same label. Okay good point - this is for Feb 2019 and newer drives that come with 1.04 firmware on them. Therefore, I'm posting this to warn people that these instructions will work great for the proper drive, but, be careful. So while your instructions are great for those with the proper drive, far too many people don't heed the warning to check the sticker on the drive before blindly flashing and end up with a bricked drive. If they attempt to flash a non-NS50 SVC code NS40 drive, they will brick it in a way that's a massive pain in the ass to fix. Meaning drives manufactured after late 2015. People MUST check the sticker on the drive and can ONLY flash drives with the NS50 SVC code on the sticker. Why? Because not all NS40 drives are made the same. This does not give people enough information to SAFELY flash an NS40 drive. This post is almost guaranteed to cause problems I'm afraid.
