We have an MD3000 which is over 5 years old, but still works fine. However, I recently suffered a failed 1TB SATA drive. If I can locate a Dell certified drive, does it matter if the firmware is identical? For example, see attached image of the failed drive. Even though it was shipped with MA07, the array shows that it's now running MA0D. If I buy the exact same drive listed with firmware MA08, will it work? or, how can I upgrade the firmware to MA0D before I replace the failed drive?
Thanks!
