not seen any NVxx Firmware for the LG GH40N i'm Afraid.

I do not know whether it is a LG? On their website does not have any info about this model, maybe is Hitaci or something else?

same venture/company Hitachi LG. Did you buy the drive on its own or did it come part of a system? if it did they will be responsible for firmware updates for the drive. discounts crossflashing it of course.

I bought separately.. No other, throw in the trash and buy another.
Just as many good quality and there is nothing to buy in the midsize class.
Thanks anyway.

you could always dump the firmware.

Your drive comes with a Fujitsu OEM firmware on board.

Here's the latest available Fujitsu OEM firmware (NV02): http://www.mediafire.com/?i4feo9eld9jhqum


I've also got a Lenovo OEM firmware available (NX05) and an Asus OEM one (NM02), but since they are all internally dated July 2009 (just like the NV02 one), I suspect there's nothing to gain by attempting to crossflash your drive to any of them.

If you really want to have the latest, you would need to crossflash your OEM drive it to its retail equivalent: the GH22NS40. The latest available firmware for the retail version (NL02) is internally dated October 2009 so it is the newest one available ...

Thank you cvs, works pretty good.
