This firmware modifies the behavior of the drive to wait longer before positioning the heads in their park position and turning off unnecessary electronics. This utility is designed to upgrade the firmware of the following hard drives: WD1000FYPS-01ZKB0, WD7500AYPS-01ZKB0, WD7501AYPS-01ZKB0.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to run this software on any hard drives other than what is listed above. Please make sure that the computer system is not turned off during the firmware upgrade. Doing so may damage the hard drive beyond repair and your data may be lost.

The software will scan the Serial ATA bus and automatically update the hard drive that is connected and recognized. It may take up to two minutes to update the firmware of the hard drive. Once completed, a message will be displayed that the firmware has been updated. Once this message is displayed, remove your boot media and reboot your system.

Important: If you are having issues updating the firmware of a drive connected to a PCI Serial ATA controller or RAID controller, please install the drive into a system with Serial ATA connections directly on the motherboard (Onboard Serial ATA controller) and try again. There is also a readme file provided that has a list of compatible HBAs that should work.
