Compatible K2 RAID disk drive firmware

This compatibility specification applies to K2 10Gv3 RAID (M110), K2 10Gv2 RAID, K2 10G RAID (D4), and K2 Lx0 RAID (D3) on a K2 SAN, both basic and redundant.

Be aware that Storage Utility can report inconsistent disk drive firmware versions. This can be a normal condition, since the RAID system supports multiple drive capacities and firmware versions. Be sure to compare the version numbers with this table, and update only as required.

Disk drive firmware is compatible with this release of K2 software as summarized in the following tables:
