It's been asked for over and over again.
We even had such a subsection at one stage.

The problem is that HD manufacturers are very protective of their firmware and there is not much customization you can do, so, from lack of posting, the section was basically shut down...

Now if dozens of people ask for it and feel that it can be an active section, we will recreate it, but I doubt it. Better use the other firmware section for the moment.

Id agree with >NIL:'s regarding how closly kept HDD firmware typically is
the few exceptions being fairly well know fixes for defective products

such as (for posterity)
the IBM Deathstar
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.ws ... MIGR-44195
(firmware links for various models at the bottom)

this (cache) describes the issue
as well as this link (in German) describing physical issues

all of which can be found at the Storage Review Deathstar FAQ
