It's a Fujitsu drive but I don't know about FW - you'll probably have to place a call to HP.

Hi,
Do they ahve HP part numbers on them or what do they go in specifically? or are they just generic drives, in which case try Fujitsu.

some disc f/w is available through the patch database but not all.

probably yes, if its critical and needed then it would be in the patch databse with other disc firmware.
the only one I can see is this
patch details: COL4570-IS-15532-2
which is for the seagte versions to take them to HPC5. Cannot be needed for for your drive and in my experience it is usually seagate and IBM drives that need the fw updates.
