I have replaced hundreds of hard drives over the years and none have
ever given me trouble. There are some specific security setups that
read disk/device serial number, however, if you were in such a
situation: 1. transferring firmware would not help resolve the
serial number change and 2. I doubt you would have presented this
question to the group as you would be aware of the answer already.<br>
<br>
In most cases, especially running Linux, you can pop in a new drive
and start installing new software immediately.<br>
<br>
As an aside, at the enterprise level I have updated disk firmware on
HP hardware for various reasons, mostly due to poor performance or
increased visibility and reporting on hardware health.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <br>

Just got a new Hard Drive for my HP G60t-200 Lap top. Will the
new Hard Drive's Firmware need to be transfered? The new Hard
Drive model number is: WD1600-BEVT- 60ZCT10. Same Model as
origional Hard Drive<br>
